Caution!
Partitioning the hard drive
erases all information on the
drive! Back up your files on
the drive before partitioning.
Note:
An Important Note screen may
appear that gives information
on the FAT32 file system. If
so, the software asks if you
wish to enable large disk
support (Y/N)? We
recommend you select [N]
(default value). Selecting [N]
formats your hard drive with

Gateway. See "Formatting the
partition with FAT16 file
system" on page 13.
