Standard Microsoft Installation

Preparing the Drive with Disk Manager or DiscWizard

Installing a Single Drive

If you are installing a single drive, we recommend using Disk Manager to automatically partition and format your drive. Disk Manager software is available at www.seagate.com. During the download, the Diskette Creator creates a bootable diskette. To run Disk Manager:

1.Insert your bootable Disk Manager diskette and follow the instruc- tions. Disk Manager will guide you through the installation process.

2.Boot your computer from the Windows Me, Windows 98 or Windows 95 startup diskette with the Windows CD loaded. At the prompt, type setup.

Installing a Slave Drive

If you are installing a second drive, or slave, to your system, use the DiscWizard software available at www.seagate.com.

Note. If you do not want to install your drive using either DiscWizard or Disk Manager, see “Standard Microsoft Installation” below to partition and format your drive.

!Caution. Partitioning or formatting a drive erases all data on it. Seagate assumes no liability if you erase your data.

Drive Partitioning

Partitioning divides the drive into sections or partitions that function as separate logical drives (labeled C,D,E, etc.). To partition your new drive: 1. Insert a bootable startup diskette and restart your computer.

2.Run fdisk and create a primary DOS partition.

3.Mark the partition as active to make the partition bootable.

Drive Formatting

!Caution. Use the correct drive letters to prevent formatting a drive that already contains data.

1.At the A: prompt, type format x: where x is the letter of your first new partition. Repeat the format process for all new partitions.

2.Proceed to “Loading the Operating System” below.

Loading the Operating System

Note. The operating system needs to be installed on the master drive only. It is not required when adding a second drive.

1.Boot your computer from your Windows Me, Windows 98 or Windows 95 startup diskette with the Windows CD loaded.

2.At the prompt, type setup and continue with the Windows setup.

Troubleshooting

If your drive is not working properly, follow these troubleshooting steps.

1.Does the drive spin up? A spinning drive produces a faint whine and clicking noise that begins when power is applied. If your drive does not spin, check that the power connector and interface cable are securely attached and the jumpers are installed correctly.

2.Does the computer recognize the drive? Verify that the drive is enabled in the system CMOS or setup program. If not, select the autodetect option and enable it. If your drive has a problem, it may not be recognized by the system.

3.Does FDISK detect the drive? Run the FDISK program located on your Windows startup diskette. Type fdisk/status to verify that your hard drive is present.

4.Does Scandisk find the drive defect-free? Scandisk is a utility located on your Windows startup diskette that scans the drive for de- fects. If defects are detected, this may be an indication of a problem.

5.Why won’t the drive format to full capacity? Verify that your BIOS has autodetect and LBA mode enabled. Otherwise you may need to use Disk Manager to achieve the full capacity of your drive. Down load the latest version from www.seagate.com or find it on your CD.

6.The computer hangs on startup. Verify that your system is ATA/100 compatible with the UDMA mode setting. Some legacy BIOS cause hangs on startup or other problems if not ATA/100 compatible.

For more information, see the earlier section on the Ultra ATA/100 requirements. In addition, some legacy BIOS may cause a hang due to the large drive capacity. Consider using the alternate capacity jumper if it is available on your drive model.

Use the alternate capacity jumper if your computer does not support higher capacity drives. The jumper will limit the 40-Gbyte drive capacity to 32 Gbytes.

Note. If these steps do not solve the problem, contact your dealer or visit www.seagate.com to download SeaTools disc diagnostics software and more troubleshooting advice.
