Partitioning your Freecom ToughDrive Leather
Example for different partitions with different file systems on one Freecom
Freecom ToughDrive Leather
File system
Total
size of Freecom
ToughDrive Leather
NTFS
FAT32
160 GB
130 GB
30 GB
Note: On NTFS formatted hard disks can only be written under Windows
000 / XP / Vista. Under MacOSX data can only be read.
The example above is a good solution for Windows 2000 / XP / Vista users who sometimes
exchange data with Windows 98SE/ME PCs.
For storing the data under Windows 2000 / XP / Vista 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 ToughDrive Leather for your needs.
