Formatting FireLite Under Windows Me or Windows 98 SE

Follow these steps if you are using Windows Me or Windows 98 SE
while formatting your SmartDisk hard drive for Windows.
Formatting deletes all information on the drive. Double check each
step before execution to ensure that you are formatting the correct
drive. Information that is lost may be irretrievable.
1. Follow the instructions in Connecting FireLite to a Windows
Computer located earlier in this document.
2. From the Start menu, click on Run, type command and press
Enter. You should see a small black MS DOS window with a
prompt such as c:\Windows.
3. Type fdisk and press Enter. Type Y (or just hit the Enter key) in
the window that asks if you wish to enable large disk support.
4. You will be presented with a menu of five items. You should
type 5 to select the "Change current fixed disk drive" option
then hit the Enter key.
5. You will see a list of hard drives. Your main internal hard drive
will be Disk 1. Any other hard drives will be listed as 2, 3, etc.
If you have only one hard drive in your computer, drive 2 will
be the SmartDisk hard drive. You can also verify which drive on
the list is the SmartDisk hard drive by the size under Mbytes.
The number should be a little less than the size marked on the
product label of your SmartDisk hard drive. Type the number
that represents the SmartDisk hard drive and press Enter.
Caution: Selecting the wrong drive at this point may
cause you to lose valuable data.
6. You now are presented with same menu of five items from step
4. This time, you must type 1 (Create DOS partition or Logical
DOS drive) and hit Enter.
