	Windows 98SE	Windows ME	Windows 2000, XP
File System: FAT32, NTFS	FAT32 operates properly with partition up to 160GB	FAT32 operates properly with partition up to 160GB	FAT32 and NTFS operates properly with partition up to 160GB
FDISK, FORMAT	FDISK and FORMAT - two known bugs, see Notes 1 and 2	FDISK and FORMAT - two known bugs, see Note 1	NTFS operates properly with partition up to 160GB Cannot format partition >32GB in FAT32
Defrag and ScanDisk	Defrag and ScanDisk limited to partition <127GB, see Note 3	Operates properly with partition up to 160GB	Operates properly with partition up to 160GB

Note 1: On disks larger than 64GB (Windows 98SE), both the FDISK and FORMAT utilities perform their functions properly, but they display an incorrect disk size on the screen. A similar problem has been observed with Windows ME at larger disk sizes (starting somewhere above 80GB). Further information is available on Microsoft's support web site at:
http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q263/0/44.ASP
http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q263/0/45.ASP
Note 2: The FDISK utility may not run properly after an external disk drive has been disconnected and reconnected. It is recommended the user reboot the computer before running FDISK.
Note 3: Neither the ScanDisk nor Defrag utilities will operate on drive partitions larger than 127GB. Further information is available on Microsoft's support web site at:
http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q184/0/06.ASP
Third party utilities, including Norton System Works 2000 and 2002, can be used to replace the functionality of the ScanDisk and Defrag utilities.
