Notes on using the Maxtor Personal Storage products with capacities of 160GB or higher
with the Windows Operating System
File System:
FAT32, NTFS
FDISK, FORMAT
Defrag and
ScanDisk
Note 1: On disks larger than 64GB (Windows 98SE), both the FDISK and FORMAT utilities perform
their functions properly, but they display an incorrect disk size on the screen. A similar problem has been
observed with Windows ME at larger disk sizes (starting somewhere above 80GB). Further information is
available on Microsoft's support web site at:
Note 2: The FDISK utility may not run properly after an external disk drive has been disconnected and
reconnected. It is recommended the user reboot the computer before running FDISK.
Note 3: Neither the ScanDisk nor Defrag utilities will operate on drive partitions larger than 127GB.
Further information is available on Microsoft's support web site at:
Third party utilities, including Norton System Works 2000 and 2002, can be used to replace the
functionality of the ScanDisk and Defrag utilities.
