The detailed User Manual and LaCie Storage
Utilities are preloaded on the drive.We
strongly advise that you read and copy
the detailed User Manual onto your
computer. If the detailed User Manual and
Utilities are not accessible on the drive, they

*The LaCie Golden Disk is formatted in FAT 32. If you would like to use a different file format, you will
need to reformat the hard drive. The FAT 32 file format allows you to access data on any operating system
(Windows or Mac), and is ideal for cross-platform use. The NTFS format for Windows users will allow
you to store files larger than 4GB, to format partitions larger than 32GB or to optimize performance
under Windows 2000/XP . To optimize performance, Mac users will be able to format in HFS+.
Refer to the User Manual for more details.
