The example above is a good solution for Windows 2000/XP/Vista users who sometimes
exchange data with Windows 98SE/ME PCs.
For storing the data under Windows 2000/XP/Vista both partitions can be used. As the
NTFS file system is not recognized by Windows 98SE/ME data to be used on these oper-
ating systems must be stored on the FAT32 partition.
Please follow the steps below to adapt the Freecom MediaPlayer for your needs.
