Caution! Partitioning or formatting a disk drive deletes data. We assume no responsibility for lost data. Before you install your hard disk ... We would like to remind you once again that when installing the new hard disk some programs are used that could cause your data to be irreversibly lost if used incorrectly. Make a backup of all your data and check that the recovery procedure works. Partitioning programs With Windows® Vista/XP/7 use the Windows Disk Management Tool help program in order to install the hard disk. You can find the program in the computer management. With some operating systems you must have administration rights to install a hard disk. Look under help in Windows for detailed information on using this program. Partitioning the drive Partitioning a drive divides the space into different areas which can be accessed as separate logical drives (with letters C:, D:, E: etc.). Read you PC operating system manual to find out how to partition hard drives. Formatting the drive In order to remove data from the hard disk, the partitions must be formatted. Caution! You must be totally sure about which drive letter to enter so that you don’t format a drive that contains data you wish to keep. You can carry out the formatting using Windows® Explorer (right click on the drive and select format). The following section outlines the various options available when formatting your hard drive. English Choosing between NTFS, FAT, and FAT32 When you use Windows® Vista/XP/ Windows®7 and Windows 2000 you can choose between three file systems for disk partitions: NTFS, FAT, and FAT32. Use the information below to compare the file systems. NTFS is the recommended file system for the following reasons: NTFS is more powerful than FAT or FAT32, and includes features required for hosting Active Directory as well as other important security features. You can use features such as Active Directory and domain-based security only by choosing NTFS as your file system. It is easy to convert partitions to NTFS. The Setup program makes conversion easy, whether you use partitions FAT, FAT32, or the older version of NTFS. This kind of conversion keeps your files intact (unlike formatting a partition). If you do not need to keep your files intact and you have a FAT or FAT32 partition, it is recommended that you format the partition with NTFS rather than convert from FAT or FAT32. Formatting a partition erases all data on the partition and allows you to start with a clean drive. Whether a partition is formatted with NTFS or converted using the convert command, NTFS is the better choice of file system. (For more information about Convert.exe, after completing Setup, click Start, click Run, type cmd, and then press ENTER. In the command window, type help convert and then press ENTER.) In order to maintain access control on files and folders and support limited accounts, you must use NTFS. If you use FAT32, all users will have ac...
