4.Reboot your computer again using the blank, bootable diskette.

5.You should now be able to access the software on your new hard disc. If your new hard drive is drive C, type c:\seamove to transfer the disc support software. Use a different drive letter if necessary.

The SEAMOVE program transfers the drive-support files from your new hard disc to your blank, bootable diskette in drive A. After all the files have been transferred, SEAMOVE deletes all the files from the hard drive, along with the temporary partition that held them. You must then run Disk Manager from your bootable software diskette to access the full capacity of your drive.

Configuring your system BIOS

1.Restart your computer (again!) from a bootable diskette, and enter your system setup program as described previously.

2.Within the system setup program, make sure that the correct drive type is listed for each ATA hard drive in your computer. Some newer computers can automatically determine drive- type characteristics if you select the Auto drive-type setting. If your computer does not provide this option, you must manually enter the number of cylinders, heads and sectors per track for your new drive, as shown in the table below.

Cylinders

1,571

Heads

16

Sectors per track

63

Total sectors

1,583,568

Bytes per sector

512

Capacity

810.7 million bytes
