LARGE DRIVE SUPPORT

Windows Environment
Windows 98 and Windows 95 OSR2 or later support the use of partitions greater
than 2 GB (gigabytes) in capacity with FAT32. The maximum supported partition
size is 2 TB (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 Windows 98 and Windows 95 OSR2 or later. DOS, Retail Windows
95 (original Windows 95), and Windows NT 4.0 or earlier cannot access a FAT32
partition.
Mac Environment
Mac OS 8.1 and later supports Mac OS Extended File Format (HFS+). This large
drive partition support can help you dramatically reduce the amount of wasted
space on your ORB Disk.
One should be aware that this Mac OS Extended format can only be recognized and
accessed by Mac OS 8.1 or later.

PARTITIONING A DISK

Your ORB Drive comes with a 2.2GB ORB Disk. The ORB Disk is a high quality and
high capacity hard disk. If you purchased an ORB USB Drive, the ORB Disk is pre-
formatted with one 2.16GB extended FAT16 partition. The ORB Drive and Disk par-
tition behave like any Hard Disk Drive that you have on your system. The table
below shows the format options that exist to you based on your operating system.
