Drive Formatting—Windows 98SE and Windows Me
Formatting prepares a hard drive for use by dividing the data area into tracks and
sectors, enabling your computer to store and retrieve data from the drive. This
section describes the process of formatting hard drives connected to the Tempo
HD, using FDISK on systems running Windows 98SE or Windows Me. The fol-
lowing instructions detail the procedure to create a simple volume (single parti-
tion); if you need to format a drive with multiple partitions, refer to Windows
Help for details. As an alternative, you may choose to format and partition your
hard drive(s) with any software that was included with the drive, following the
included instructions.
