This section tells you how to manually configure System Setup. When the setup is complete, partition and format the drive.
1.Turn the computer on.
2.Enter System Setup. (Refer to your computer user’s guide. System Setup may be called Setup, BIOS Setup or CMOS Setup.)
3.Find the hard disc configuration in the System Setup screen.
4.Select a drive type that matches the drive translation geometry for your drive as shown in the table.
