You may want to change the drive letter for convenience, or because there was a
change to existing drive letters when you installed your ORB Drive.  Changes to
existing drive letters may cause problems with applications installed on the drives
with changed letters. 

Installation Help Note 001, Drive Letter Assignment, covers in detail how drive let-
ters are assigned and the ways available to reassign drive letters.  This Help Note is
available on our web site at www.castlewood.com.

LARGE DRIVE SUPPORT

Windows Environment

Windows 2000, Windows 98, and Windows 95 OSR2 or later support the use of parti-
tions greater than 2 GB (gigabytes) in capacity with FAT32. The maximum support-
ed partition size is 2 TB (terabytes). Large drive partition support can help you dra-
matically reduce the amount of wasted space on your computer’s hard disk. 

One should be aware that this FAT32 configured partition can only be recognized
and accessed by Windows 2000, Windows 98 and Windows 95 OSR2 or later.  DOS,
Retail Windows 95 (original Windows 95), and Windows NT 4.0 or earlier cannot
access a FAT32 partition. 

Mac Environment

Mac OS 8.1 and later supports Mac OS Extended File Format (HFS+). This large
drive partition support can help you dramatically reduce the amount of wasted
space on your ORB Disk. 

One should be aware that this Mac OS Extended format can only be recognized and
accessed by Mac OS 8.1 or later. 

ORB PC formatted (Fat 16 or Fat 32) disks are recognized by Mac OS 8.5 or higher
with File Exchange. PC Exchange on Mac OS 7.6.1 through 8.1 does not recognize
any PC formatted device larger than 1GB in capacity.

2.6

PARTITIONING A DISK

Your ORB Drive comes with a 2.2GB ORB Disk. The ORB Disk is a high quality and
high capacity hard disk. If you purchased an ORB SCSI Drive, the ORB Disk is pre-
formatted with one 2.16GB extended FAT16 partition. The format can be set to your
preference. The ORB Drive and Disk partition behave like any Hard Disk Drive that
you have on your system. The following table shows the format options that exist to
you based on your operating system.
