This drive was originally on an older box. I used the vendor's setup disk and it autoformatted the drive into equal partitions---notice they're FAT16 rather than FAT32. I've so much stuff on there that changing the partitions is not really workable at this time. A lot of it is work related so I can't have the box down for any length of time.
