your installation is complete; you may access your newly-formatted drive
through your applications, as well as My Computer. Please note, depending
on the capacity of the drive you are working with, the formatting procedure
may take anywhere from a few seconds to a few minutes to complete.

WARNING:

By default, NTFS will be selected as the file system to use

when you format drives. 

Unless you need to move the Tempo HD 

and hard drive(s) to another computer running Windows 98SE or Windows
Me, you should use the default (NTFS) file system choice

. Windows 98SE and

Windows Me are incapable of using NTFS-formatted drives; those operating sys-
tems require FAT32-formatted drives.

If you choose to change the default setting to FAT32, you should do so only
when formatting hard drives with a capacity of less than35GB. 

Windows 2000

and Windows XP cannot “see” more than 35GB of a FAT32-formatted drive,
regardless the capacity
