Note: Writing to hard disks with NTFS formatting is only possible under
Windows 000/XP.
The example above is a good solution for Windows 2000/XP users who sometimes ex-
change data with Windows 98SE/ME PCs.
For storing 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 Freecom Hard Drive Pro for your needs.
