We recommend using DiscWizard Starter Edition to automatically partition and format your drive. DiscWizard software is available at www.seagate.com and is free. To run DiscWizard:

1.Insert your bootable DiscWizard Starter Edition diskette or CD and fol- low the instructions. DiscWizard will guide you through the installation process.

2.Boot your computer from the Windows operating system CD-ROM or from your system startup diskette with the Windows CD loaded. Follow the instructions provided on your screen.

Troubleshooting

If your drive is not working properly, these troubleshooting tips may help solve the problem.

1.Does the drive spin up? A spinning drive produces a faint whine and clicking noise. If your drive does not spin, check that the power con- nector and interface cable are securely attached.

2.Does the computer recognize the drive? Verify that the drive is enabled in the system CMOS or setup program. If not, select the auto detect option and enable it. If your drive has a problem, it may not be recognized by the system. If the operating system does not recognize the drive, you need to load your host adapter drivers.

3.Does FDISK detect the drive? Run the FDISK program located on your Windows startup diskette. Type fdisk/status to verify that your hard drive is present and recognized by the system.

4.I’m running Windows 98 and FDISK is not reporting the full capacity of my drive. Why? You need to upgrade your version of FDISK if you are using the diskettes or CD that came with your original Windows 95 or 98 operating system. Microsoft provides a free down- loadable FDISK upgrade. See Microsoft Knowledgebase article num- ber: 263044 located at http://support.microsoft.com.

5.Does ScanDisk find the drive defect-free? ScanDisk is a utility located on your Windows startup diskette that scans the drive for defects. If defects are detected, this may be an indication of a problem.

6.Why does my computer hang on startup? Verify that your system is SATA compatible. You need either an SATA-compatible motherboard connector or SATA host adapter to use this drive.

Note. If these tips do not answer your question or solve the problem, con- tact your dealer or visit http://seatools.seagate.com to download SeaTools™ disc diagnostics software and more troubleshooting advice.
