The tool used here is the so called 'Disk Management' application. You can find this by right clicking on 'My Computer', then choosing 'Manage' and 'Disk Management'. The alternative is to go to 'Start/Control Panel/Administrative Tools/Computer Management'.
		Select 'My Computer', right click on it and choose 'Manage'.
		Select 'Disk Management' Remark: If you can not see the external hard drive at this point, please check your jumper settings, cable connection, power supply and if required, the driver installation. For 3.5" Hard Drives, you can also connect the drive directly to your internal IDE bus if you encounter problems with the external drive and install it later after formatting.
		Choose the drive you want to install and right click on it for further commands. Click on the gray field on the left side to initialize the drive or click on the empty field on the right side to create a partition.
		Follow the Partition Wizard and setup the hard drive according to your requirement.
		Go to 'My Computer'. The new drive should appear and you will be prompted to format it after double clicking on the drive icon if you didn't do that already during the partition process. Choose FAT32 or NTFS and format the drive. Your external drive is now ready to use! Note: FAT32 can be used on most Operating Systems including Win98SE, WinME, Win2000, WinXP, Mac OS 9, Mac OS X and Linux Systems. The only restriction if formatted on Win2000 or WinXP is, that the largest size for a single partition has to be 32GB or smaller. To create a single partition larger then 32GB (using FAT32) has to be done on WinME (see first page). NTFS can only be used on Win2000 or WinXP. There is no size restriction for NTFS, you can create a single partition even for large drives over 200GB (this might take a while!).
