5. Partitioning the External USB 2.0 Hard Disk

Boot-up the computer into Windows 98/ME. Next, with the power

ON, connect your Hard Disk Drive installed in the VPM-62289

external enclosure to the USB port.

There are two methods of partitioning and formatting your hard

drive.

Method 1

Step 1:

Click on [Start], select [Control Panel] in [Settings], double-click

[System] and open [Hard disk controllers].

Step 2:

You should see the Hard Disk installed in the VPM-62289 external

enclosure you just connected. Highlight the USB 2.0 Hard Disk

and choose [Properties], select [Settings]. Set the USB 2.0 Hard

Disk to [Removable] and reboot the system.

Step 3:

After restarting the system, a removable HDD is added to [My

Computer]. Choose the removable HDD and click the right mouse

button. Select [Format] to format the USB 2.0 Hard Disk Drive.

You can only set the Hard Disk Drive installed in the

VPM-62289 external enclosure to one partition using this

method.
