The file system is FAT32, the same type of file system that is found on Windows® based computers. That is, it is a hierarchical system which includes folders and subfolders. Because you will be putting hundreds of files on your GminiTM 402, it is STRONGLY ADVISED that keep a neat and orderly file structure. Otherwise, you will be spending time searching for files and not listening or watching them. We suggest that on the first level of your file structure, you include the folders: Data, Music, Playlists, Photo and Video. Go to the parent directory (go back up one level). Example: Go from folder /Music/Wes Burden/ to /Music. 12. 2 File and folder operations Depending on where you are in the directory system, you will have the option to manipulate files and folders.
