Note: On NTFS formatted hard disks can only be written under Windows 

XP / Vista / 7.  Under MacOSX data can only be read.

The example above is a  good solution for Windows XP / Vista / 7 users who sometimes 

exchange data with Macs.
For storing the data under Windows XP / Vista / 7 both partitions can be used. As the 

NTFS file system can only be read by Mac data to be used on these operating systems 

must be stored on the FAT32 partition.
Please follow the steps below to adapt the Hard Drive XS 3.0 for your needs.
