NetDisk User Manual
Note: NetDisk is preformatted in NTFS. In order to use NetDisk in mixed mode environ-
ments with Mac and Windows, NetDisk must be formatted in FAT32. If you use the follow-
ing steps to format your NetDisk in Windows XP or 2000, then your NetDisk will be re-
formatted in NTFS. NTFS is not a compatible file system format with Mac, thus your Mac
computers will not recognize NetDisk. You can use a third party format utility if you need to
choose the file format that your NetDisk is formatted in.
