ToughDrive Pink 

File system

Total  

size of Freecom  

ToughDrive Pink 

NTFS

FAT32

160 GB

140 GB

20 GB

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

2000 / XP / Vista.  Under MacOSX data can only be read.

The example above is a  good solution for Windows 2000 / XP / Vista users who some-

times exchange data with Macs.
For storing the data under Windows 2000 / XP / Vista 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 ToughDrive Pink for your needs.
