Drive Format
This device is preformatted for the NTFS file system. This file system supports media
files that are larger than 4 GB.
Some computers use the FAT32 file system to organize files on the computer. This
system is supported under Windows XP. With FAT32, a single file is limited in size to
4 GB. This may create a problem when you are creating backup files. If you need to
use this device on a computer that requires FAT32, you need to reformat the drive.
