From FAT32 to NTFS Drive.......2004-02-04
Windows XP reecognizes immediately the hard drive when you plug in via USB and so you're ready to go immediately.
The annoyance is that the device comes pre-formatted FAT32, resulting in multiple Drive Letters as FAT32 can't cope with such capacity.
So the trick is to use your computer management and then disk management to remove all drive letters and then reformat (quick) the whole device in NTFS format. Then a single drive with almost 120 Gb: Not bad !!
PS: You can not reverse to FAT32 afterwards and every data previously stored will be erased ! So if you wanna do this, do it immediately when getting the device
I give 5 Stars as the gear is OK, but for the documentation it's really poor ! a half star Max :)
