About the File System of Hard Disk Drive

The Mobile Video HDD is pre-formatted as a FAT32 disk. You can directly access this drive after it is connected to PC. If you want to re-partition the disk, please note:

‰Although your operating system may support several different file systems, FAT32 or NTFS partitions are strongly recommended. When using the Mobile Video HDD as a media player, it can only read NTFS or FAT32 partition.

‰Although you can create multiple partitions on the hard disk drive, when using the

Mobile Video HDD as a media player, it can only browse and play the media files located in the first “Primary” partition.

See “How to Partition the Hard Disk Drive” section to create or to change the partition. The following information will help you decide which file system is best for you.

NTFS File System

NTFS file system can support very large files (no 4GB size limitation for single file), and it is compatible with Windows Vista/XP/2000. If your PC or laptop computer runs Windows Vista/XP/2000 as its OS, partitioning and formatting the Mobile Video HDD as NTFS is recommended.

FAT32 File System

The FAT32 file system is required if your computer uses Windows 98SE, Windows ME or the Mac OS X operating systems. These operating systems do not support NTFS file system (while Windows Vista/XP/2000 would support both FAT32 and NTFS file systems). The FAT32 file system has some limitations, but it is supported by many different operating systems, i.e. Windows 98/ME, Linux, Mac OS, etc. Even if your computer does support NTFS partitions, a FAT32 partition might still be a better choice if you expect to copy files between different operating systems.

Hard disk drives formatted as FAT32 volumes have the following limitations:

„This drive cannot store any file larger than 4GB in size.

„The Windows Vista, Windows XP and Windows 2000 “New Partition Wizard” cannot create FAT32 partition larger than 32GB in size. This limitation is due to the Windows Vista/XP/2000 operating system, not the FAT32 file system. FDISK and other disk-partitioning utilities can create FAT32 partitions much larger than 32GB. Despite these limits in partitioning new FAT32 drives, Windows Vista/XP/2000 can still access FAT32 partitioned drives larger than 32GB.
