!Caution. If you change the drive-type values in the system setup program, you must partition and

format the drive again. This erases data on the drive.

If you have partitioned the drive into individual logical drives, you may need to make the partitions smaller to access the full drive capacity.

If your computer supports LBA mode, you may need to enable LBA mode in the system setup program to access the full capacity of the drive. Refer to your computer’s reference guide to find out how to enable LBA.

Your computer may not support drives that have more than 4,096 cylinders. Follow the instructions for After you install your new drive, your computer will not boot, and no error message appears on the screen.

The DOS messages “Disk Boot Failure,” “Non-System Disk” or “No ROM Basic – SYSTEM HALTED” appear.

Reinstall the DOS system files using the DOS SYS utility.

Check all cables.

Use FDISK to verify that the primary partition is active.

Check for viruses.

32-bit Disk Access under Windows 3.1

The 32-bit disk access feature in Windows 3.1 does not work with drives that have capacities greater than 528 Mbytes. If you want to use 32-bit disk access under Windows 3.1, install the Seagate replacement 32-bit access driver, SEG32BIT.386, located on your DiscWizard diskette.

Note. If you install Windows 3.1 on a high- capacity hard drive, the first time you start Windows you may see a message suggesting that you disable 32-bit disk access. Choose to disable 32-bit disk access to open Windows.

Keep your original box and packing materials for storing or shipping your drive. The box has a Seagate Approved Package label. Shipping a drive in an unapproved container voids the warranty. Call your authorized Seagate distributor to purchase additional boxes. The figure to the right shows how a drive fits in an approved single-pack box, including the packing materials.

Warranty. See your authorized Seagate distributor or dealer. Preinstalled or bundled software is provided “as is.” There are no warranties of merchantablity or fitness for a particular purpose. All such warranties are expressly disclaimed.
