5. Partitioning the External USB 2.0 Hard Disk

5-1 Partitioning Under Windows 98/ME

Boot-up the computer into Windows 98/ME. Next, with the power
ON, connect your Hard Disk Drive installed in the VPM-62289
external enclosure to the USB port.

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

Method 1

Step 1:
Click on [Start], select [Control Panel] in [Settings], double-click
[System] and open [Hard disk controllers].

Step 2:
You should see the Hard Disk installed in the VPM-62289 external
enclosure 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 Hard Disk Drive installed in the
VPM-62289 external enclosure to one partition using this
method.
