Orion                                                                                                                User Guide 

 

 

 

 

You can choose to 
create several 
partitions but be 
aware that if you 
want to change this 
at a later point, it’s 
required to format 
the drive again or 
use 3

rd

 party 

software. 
 
 

 

Win98/SE and 
WinME do not 
recognise NTFS 
formatted drives, so 
if you want to use 
your drive on those 
platforms, we 
recommend you to 
use FAT32 instead. 
 
 

 

If you use this 
device to backup 
your data using a 
3

rd

 party software 

running MS-DOS, 
we recommend you 
to format the drive 
using FAT32. 
 

Partitioning & Formatting 

Be aware that this will destroy all your existing data on the drive, 
so make sure you have a backup! This step is usually only 
required the first time you install a factory new hard drive, if you 
change the format or want to erase all data on your drive. 
 

PC running Win98/SE or WinME 

MS-DOS command “fdisk” (press Enter to confirm) 

  Type “fdisk” and press Enter 

  Select ”Y” and press Enter 

  Enter "5” to change the drive 

  Select the drive you want to format 

  Choose “1” and follow the onscreen instructions
