How to reformat and/or partition your drive Your drive is factory-formatted for a FAT32 file system and no further formatting is needed for Windows operating systems. However, if you are using Windows 2000 Pro or Windows XP and you prefer to use an NTFS file system, you can reformat with either the built-in Disk Management application provided by Microsoft, or the Seagate DiscWizard™ for Windows application located in the files directory of the Seagate Extra Value CD. Caution. Reformatting destroys all data on the drive. Back up any data that you want to keep before you reformat the drive. To use the Disk Management application: 1. Click Start, click Run, type compmgmt.msc, and then click OK. 2. In the console tree, click Disk Management. The Disk Management window appears. Your discs and volumes are displayed. 3. Right-click on the drive you want to reformat (or partition) and use the options provided to reformat or partition the drive. Portable External Hard Drive 5
