You go to the Maxtor web site and download MaxBlast. Their software should
help you set up the drive.

"Large Disk Support" lets you create a FAT32 partition which is the
file-system that WinME normally uses; FAT16, which is what you get if
type "N", is useful only for creating partitions of a size less than 2GB.
