11. Why am I unable to save a file larger then 4GB on to my Aegis
Desktop?
Fat 32 has a file size limitation of 4GB. If you are using Windows 98 SE or ME,
FAT32 is the only option you have available. If you are using Windows 2000
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 to NTFS before using it for the first time, or backup the
data before reformatting.
12. I am unable to format my 40GB or larger Aegis Desktop with FAT 32
in Windows 2000 or XP?
Windows 2000 and XP limit a FAT32 partition to 32GB. If you choose to format
the drive in a larger partition, you will need to use the NTFS file system.
13. 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.
14. What is Electrostatic Discharge (ESD)?
You experience occurrences of static electricity everyday. For example, walking
across a carpeted floor in a heated room during winter generates sufficient static
electricity to create a strong shock when you touch the metal door knob. This
can be very damaging to electronic devices which are sensitive to electrostatic
discharge (ESD).
