Notes on using the Maxtor Personal Storage 3000XT with the
The following table outlines the known limitations of the Windows Operating System and key Windows utilities when
used with a 160GB disk partition:
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:
http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q263/0/44.ASP

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:
http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q184/0/06.ASP
Third party utilities, including Norton System Works 2000 and 2002, can be used to replace the functionality of the
ScanDisk and Defrag utilities.
