EZ-Drive is easy and safe to use. You can choose a fully-auto- matic installation, which puts a single partition on the drive, or you can install the drive with multiple partitions and other custom features. Online help is provided for selected topics when you press F1. Online help is also available in the main menu as Information Help.

If you already have a drive installed, EZ-Drive cannot harm your data unless you instruct it to override that drive’s partition and format. EZ-Drive automatically arranges the drive-type position in System Setup to reflect how you have physically configured the drives.

Note. EZ-Drive is designed for DOS installations. To use EZ- Drive, you must have:

Microsoft MS-DOS Version 3.0 or later

IBM PC-DOS Version 3.1 or later

Digital Research DR-DOS Version 6.0 or later

Novell DOS Version 7.0 or later

Compaq DOS Version 3.1 or later

EZ-Drive allows you to have full access to your drive in DOS when other operating systems are loaded on the drive. You must install the drive with EZ-Drive and DOS before loading the other operating system. (See the Infor- mation Help option in the software for more information on installing other operating systems.)

EZ-Drive does not support:

Toshiba laptops, XT or Micro Channel computers

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

Caution. Because EZ-Drive uses about 4 Kbytes of conven- tional memory, some older virus-detection programs may misidentify EZ-Drive as a virus. If all 640 Kbytes
