Reformatting Your Hard Drive 
Your EZ Bus DTS’s hard drive is preformatted with the FAT32 Windows File System.  
While the FAT32 file system is visible to the largest number of operating systems, 
FAT32 does have limitations.  You cannot save a file larger than 4GB.  In Windows 
2000 and XP, the partition size is limited to 32GB.  The EZ Bus DTS will be usable
