The example above is a good solution for Windows 2000/XP users who
sometimes exchange data with Windows 98SE/ME PCs.
For storing the data under Windows 2000/XP both partitions can be used. As
the NTFS file system is not recognized by Windows 98SE/ME data to be used on
these operating systems must be stored on the FAT32 partition.
Please follow the steps below to adapt the MediaPlayer-25 Drive-In Kit for your
needs.

7.1 Partitioning your MediaPlayer-25 Drive-In Kit under

Windows 98SE / Windows ME

Windows 98SE only: The fdisk version which is installed together with your
operating system does not recognize the correct size of hard disks larger than
64 GB.
Windows 98SE/ME: For large partitions fdisk will not display the partion size
correctly! Please ignore this as the partitioning results will still be OK.
Further information and an update to fix this problem can be found in article
263044 of the "Microsoft Knowledge Base"on the Microsoft Website under
http://support.microsoft.com.
