5-1 Partitioning Under Windows 98/ME

Boot-up the computer into Windows 98/ME. Next, with the power

USB port.

There are two methods of partitioning and formatting your hard
drive.

Click on [Start], select [Control Panel] in [Settings], double-click
[System] and open [Hard disk controllers].

Step 2:
You should see the VPM-6248T USB 2.0 Hard Disk you just
connected. Highlight the USB 2.0 Hard Disk and choose
[Properties], select [Settings]. Set the USB 2.0 Hard Disk to
[Removable] and reboot the system.

Step 3:
After restarting the system, a removable HDD is added to [My
Computer]. Choose the removable HDD and click the right mouse
button. Select [Format] to format the USB 2.0 Hard Disk Drive.

You can only set the USB 2.0 Hard Disk Drive to one partition
using this method.
