2. When the USB flash disk with two partitions could not be recognized under
Win2k, users please check if their win2k was updated by  Windows2000 Service
Pack 3  downloaded from Microsoft Web site.
3. If users can not use MFORMAT or PASSID in Win2000 or Win XP normally,
please ask your administrator to run MFORMAT or PASSID firstly, then users can
use MFORMAT or PASSID.
4. User could partition USB Flash Disk into 2 disks under MAC O/S with version

the bootable folder in advance or use the  Bootable folder that is offered with
mFormat.

disk at win98 firstly, then use the m-format to enable the startup option then
format USB flash to be startup disk. The content of the USB startup disk is shown
as Fig-12. Then copy all contents to the specified folder at Win2k or WinXP. User
can specify such folder when m-format inquires the folder containing the WinXP
or Win 98 system files.

has been formatted already, user can take the content shown as Fig-14 of such
floppy as the boot file folder or copy the startup floppy content to the specified
