2.6 PARTITIONING A DISK
Your ORB drive comes with a 2.2GB ORB disk. The ORB disk is a high quality and
high capacity hard disk. It is pre-formatted with one 2.16 GB extended FAT16 par-
tition on the disk. Depending on the operating systems and file systems you choose
to use with your ORB disk, the partition(s) can be set to your preference. The ORB
Drive and Disk partition behave like any Hard Disk Drive that you have on your
computer. The following table shows the options that exist to you based on your
Operating System and File System choices.
You should use ORB Tools to partition and format your ORB disks.
