The dealer partitioned and formatted the drive for you in the store, but the drive does not respond when you install it.

Reboot the computer and make sure the drive spins up. Check all cables.

Make sure the power supply is adequate for system needs.

Make sure the DOS or Windows version the dealer used to partition and format the drive is the same version you have installed in your computer. If it isn’t, see your dealer.

Verify the drive-type values in the system setup program. You must install the drive using the same drive-type values your dealer used to partition the drive.

Check for I/O address conflicts between peripheral cards.

Check for viruses.

The system hangs in FDISK or fails to create or save the partition record.

Check all cables.

Your setup system diskette may be corrupted. Try using a backup diskette.

Make the partitions smaller.

Change the interrupt jumper setting on the host adapter.

Some BIOS have a Track 0 protection feature that protects Track 0 from viruses. This may cause FDISK to hang the sys- tem. You must disable this feature in the system setup pro- gram before you can use FDISK. See your computer reference
