This computer uses a new, highly efficient file system called FAT32. Please note the
following regarding FAT32.
Some software will not run normally:
Do not run disk utilities and other software not compatible with FAT32. Doing so
could cause incorrect information such as hard disk capacity to be shown or could
destroy hard disk data.
Contact Panasonic Technical Support or other outlet for the software and obtain the
latest version.
Non-recognition from other operating systems:
You will not be able to view the contents of your hard disk from other operating sys-
tems. (For example, you will not be able to view the contents of your hard disk even
when starting up using a floppy disk created with another computer.)
Other operating systems cannot therefore be installed. To install the operating sys-
tem, please refer to the method listed below. If you are unsure about this explanation,
do not proceed with installation of operating system.
