Formatting the drive

Warning. Formatting a drive erases all user data. Be sure that you understand this principle before formatting any hard disc drive. It is not necessary to format a drive that previously has been used to store data, unless your intention is to erase all user data.

Note. Seagate is not responsible for lost user data.

1.Turn on DC power.

2.Boot the system from a system floppy disc or from a previ- ously installed hard disc drive if there is one.

3.Format the disc drive. Cheetah 4LP disc drives are designed to operate with a variety of operating systems. Please refer to your system or SCSI controller manual for information about formatting and setting up the drive. Some quick desktop system notes are provided below.

Quick reference desktop system notes

Note. Refer to your system or utility manual for detailed instruc- tions)

DOS. Set the drive type in CMOS to “ Zero,” “None,” or “No hard drive installed.” Use FDISK.EXE and FORMAT.EXE. Sys- tems that have operating system Windows 95 release 950B or later do not need to partition the drive.

Macintosh. Use a third-party drive utility (Apple’s HD Setup utility only works with drives having special Apple firmware).
