Using the Hard Drive
Introducing Your TransPort LT

Although Windows 98 can work with FAT-16 or FAT-32 (a 32-bit file allocation
table), your computer has been supplied with FAT-32. Older software that you
may have (16-bit software) may require FAT-16 to run. Similarly, Windows NT 4.0
can use FAT-16 or NTFS (the Windows NT file system). There are utilities
included with Windows 98 and Windows 2000 to convert from FAT-16 to FAT-32
or NTFS (Windows NT 4.0 and Windows 2000), see the documentation included
with your Operating System for more information.
The MRestore disk includes Partition Magic that also allows you to convert
partitions. For more information, see “MRestore CD-ROM” on page 99.

It is not possible to convert from FAT-32 or NTFS to FAT-16 without
reformatting your hard drive.

the old hard drive before removing it from the computer.
