*The LaCie Hard Disk is formatted in FAT 32. If you would like to use a different fi le format, you will
need to reformat the hard drive. The FAT 32 fi le format allows you to access data on any operating
system (Windows or Mac), and is ideal for cross-platform use. The NTFS format for Windows users will
allow you to store fi les larger than 4GB, to format partitions larger than 32GB or to optimize perfor-
mance under Windows 2000/XP/Vista. To optimize performance, Mac users should format in HFS+.
Refer to the User Manual for more details.
