System and method for configuring a removable storage medium. An embodiment
of the invention may comprise selecting a configuration for the removable storage
medium, wherein logical sectors are consistently identified for both an aware device
and an unaware device. If the selected configuration is for the aware device, then
a standard location for a file system indicator may be masked on the removable

file system indicator may be copied from a non-standard location to the standard
location on the removable storage medium.
