You may want to change the drive letter for convenience, or because there
was a change to existing drive letters when you installed your ORB drive.
Changes to existing drive letters may cause problems with applications
installed on the drives with changed letters.

LARGE DRIVE SUPPORT

Windows Environment
Win 98/98SE / Win 2000 (SP2+) / Win ME / Win XP support the use of
partitions greater than 2GB (gigabytes) in capacity with FAT32. The maximum
supported partition size is 2TB (terabytes). Large drive partition support can
help you dramatically reduce the amount of wasted space on your computer’s
hard disk.
One should be aware that this FAT32 configured partition can only be
recognized and accessed by Win 95 OSR2 / Win 98/98SE / Win 2000 / Win
ME / Win XP. DOS, original Win 95, Win NT 4.0 or earlier cannot access a
FAT32 partition.
