M axtor hard drives can accept nearly all
operating systems. Some operating sys-
tems have volume size limitations that
may require you to partition your drive
into multiple volumes. Please refer to
your system or SCSI adapter card user
guide for information about formatting
and partitioning the drive.
General Guidelines
¥ DOS /W indow s 9X /M E :
Use FDIS K.E XE to partition and
FOR M AT.COM to format the drive.
¥ W indow s N T/2000:
B oot your system from the installa-
tion floppy disks provided with the
OS to partition and format the drive.
If you do not have the original installa-
tion floppies, you can create them
using your W indows installation CD.
¥ W indow s X P:
B oot your system from the W indows
XP installation CD to partition and for-
mat the drive. If your system is not
capable of booting from a CD, you
can download bootable W indows XP
installation floppies from M icrosoft's
website at www.microsoft.com
¥ M acintosh: M ost non-Apple branded
hard drives can be formatted using
the Drive Setup utility included in M ac
OS 8.6 and above. M ac OS versions
before 8.6 will require a third-party
hard drive utility such as FW B Hard
Disk Toolkit (www.fwb.com) or Intech
Hard Disk SpeedTools
(www.intechusa.com) to partition and
initialize the drive. Please visit the
