or XP, you can reformat the drive to NTFS. By reformatting the drive to
NTFS, you eliminate the 4GB limitation, but you will also lose any data
stored on the drive. Either reformat my Aegis Mini to NTFS before using
for the first time, or backup the data on Aegis before reformatting.
14. I am unable to format my 40GB or larger Aegis Mini with FAT 32 in
Windows 2000 or XP?
Windows 2000 and XP limit a FAT32 partition to 32 GB. If you choose to
format the drive in a larger the 32 GB partition, you will need to use the
NTFS file system.
15. Do I need to install drivers for the FireWire?
Windows users do not need any additional software for FireWire.
16. Can I boot Windows to my USB Device?
No, because of limitations (both hardware and software) Windows is
currently prevented from booting and running off a USB drive.
17. Can I boot my MAC from the Aegis FireWire?
Yes, if your Macintosh has a built in FireWire port, expect for the Blue
& White G3 and PCI graphics models of the G4 (See Apple Knowledge
base Article #58606.)
To boot your supported Macintosh
Connect the Aegis Mini to an available Fire wire port and verify that the
drive is visible
Run Super Duper to clone your drive
