Formatting The Hd Partition In Windows Me Or 98Se - Acomdata EXTERNAL E5 HARD DRIVE USB 2.0 User Manual

Formatting the HD Partition
in Windows Me or 98SE
1. Disable any anti-virus software you may have running.
. Double-click on My Computer. In the My Computer window,
right-click the HD PART icon and select Format. In the Format
window, verify the capacity; it should be close to the stated
capacity of your Drive in megabytes.
. Under Format type, select Full; everything else should be left at
the default setting. In the Label field, under Other options, you
may assign a name to the HD partition that will allow you to eas-
ily distinguish it from other storage devices. (Limit  characters;
no symbols.)
. Click Start. The following warning will appear: "This device is
either a hard disk or a large removable disk. Formatting it will
destroy all files currently on the drive. Are you sure you want to
format this drive?" If the HD partition contains no data or you
already backed up the data you wish to keep, click OK.
6. If you see a warning from an antivirus program, click Exclude.
7. When formatting is complete, you will be asked to run a thor-
ough Scandisk. (Periodically running Scandisk is a part of regular
hard drive maintenance.) If you do not wish to run Scandisk at
this time, close the Format window.
