The drive must be
formatted using the
FAT32 file system.
If NTFS is used, the
drive will only be
recognised on USB.
If you use Win2000
or WinXP and
FAT32, the biggest
single partition you
can create will be
32GB. To create
larger partitions,
you need to use the
DOS command
under Win98SE or
WinME or use 3
rd
party software.
You can choose to
create several
partitions through
USB but be aware
that only the first
partition will be
recognised on the
network (LAN disk
function).
PC running Win2000 or WinXP
:
Disk Management Program
•
Right click on “My Computer” and choose “Manage”
•
Select “Disk Management”
•
Choose the drive you want to format and right click on it for
further commands (Choose New Partition)
•

Alternatively, you can also format the LAN disk using the disk
utility option. Connect the device to your LAN, login, go to disk
