7-1 Partition Under Windows 98/ME

Boot-up the computer into Windows 98/ME. Next, connect your
USB 2.0 Hard Disk Drive to the USB port.

Step1:
Go into MS-DOS mode by clicking on [Start], then choose the
[MS-DOS Prompt] in [Programs].

Step2:
At the DOS prompt, type [FDISK] and press Enter.

Step3:
If FDISK quits without any message, go back to the Windows 98
screen, disconnect the USB 2.0 Hard Disk and re-boot the
computer. Reconnect the USB 2.0 HDD and go back to Step 1 to
proceed.

Step4:
For the first screen of FDISK, answer the question:

Do you want to enable large disk support?
[Y] if you want to build a partition larger than 2GB.
