**This WD drive is preformatted as a single FAT32 partition for compatibility with all Windows operating systems. The FAT32 file system has a maximum
individual file size of 4 GB and cannot create partitions larger than 32 GB in Windows 2000/XP. Windows 2000 and XP users can overcome these file size
limitations by reformatting the drive to NTFS using the Disk Management utility. Windows 98SE and Me do not support NTFS. See answer ID 1287 at
