Note. EZ-Drive is designed for DOS installations. It supports Microsoft MS-DOS Version 5.0 or later.

EZ-Drive does not support:

Toshiba laptops, XT or Micro Channel computers

Non-ATA hard drives (SCSI, ESDI, MFM and RLL)

Some Local Bus adapters that use 32-bit mode

Some systems that have PIO mode 3 or 4 active

OS/2 and NT

Caution. Some older virus-detection programs may misidentify the EZ-Drive information stored in conventional mem- ory as a virus. If all 640 Kbytes of conventional memory are not free, such programs assume a virus is present and clean and restore the memory. If this happens, information about the EZ-Drive installed drive is de- stroyed, and the computer cannot identify the drive. Do not use these programs.

Note. The Seagate version of EZ-Drive cannot install a non-Sea- gate drive without a Seagate drive present.

1.Boot your computer with the Seagate software diskette. This is a precaution to ensure that the EZ-Drive installation does not conflict with any terminate-and-stay resident (TSR) pro- grams that may be in memory.

2.Type ez and press ENTER.

3.Disregard the Notice dialog box. The EZ-Drive software is authorized for installation only with the drive on which it is shipped. Press ENTER to continue.
