Hard Disk

FAT32

This computer uses a new, highly efficient file system called FAT32. Please note the following regarding FAT32.

Some software will not run normally:

Do not run disk utilities and other software not compatible with FAT32. Doing so could cause incorrect information such as hard disk capacity to be shown or could destroy hard disk data.

Contact Panasonic Technical Support or other outlet for the software and obtain the latest version.

Non-recognition from other operating systems:

You will not be able to view the contents of your hard disk from other operating sys- tems. (For example, you will not be able to view the contents of your hard disk even when starting up using a floppy disk created with another computer.)

Other operating systems cannot therefore be installed. To install the operating sys- tem, please refer to the method listed below. If you are unsure about this explanation, do not proceed with installation of operating system.

1Back up the contents of your hard disk.

2Insert the FIRSTAID FD, and restart the computer.

The following steps will normally be unnecessary, however, if installation is not pos- sible, try performing them.
