The example above is a good solution for Windows 2000/XP users who sometimes exchange data with Windows 98SE/ME PCs.

For storing the data under Windows 2000/XP both partitions can be used. As the NTFS file system is not recognized by Windows 98SE/ME data to be used on these operating systems must be stored on the FAT32 partition.

Please follow the steps below to adapt the MediaPlayer-25 Drive-In Kit for your needs.

7.1Partitioning your MediaPlayer-25 Drive-In Kit under Windows 98SE / Windows ME

Windows 98SE only: The fdisk version which is installed together with your operating system does not recognize the correct size of hard disks larger than 64 GB.

Windows 98SE/ME: For large partitions fdisk will not display the partion size correctly! Please ignore this as the partitioning results will still be OK.

Further information and an update to fix this problem can be found in article 263044 of the "Microsoft Knowledge Base"on the Microsoft Website under http://support.microsoft.com.
