CAUTION!

Comments on the le systems
• If you intend to work with access control for les and folders or require support
for restricted accounts, we recommend the use of NTFS as le system.
• The NTFS le system is also more suitable than FAT for large data carriers.

If you have already formatted a disk drive or a partition in NTFS, you need to reformat
it before you can reconvert it to FAT or FAT32. Any data contained in the partition will
be deleted by this process without exception.
