When the hardware in your

computer is changed, your configuration

information

must

be

changed

to

reflect

the

hardware

changes.

Most

computers

automatically

change

the

for

some

computers

you

must

make

configuration

choices

the

first

time

you

restart

your

system

after

you

have

made

hardware

changes.

For

most

IBM

computers,

you

can

see

configuration

information

during

computer startup

by

pressing

F1

when

the

configuration

graphic

displays

in

the

upper

right

corner

of

your

screen.

If the configuration-setup

screen

does

not

display,

see

the

documentation

that

comes

with

your

computer for

information

on

how

to

access

the

configuration

program. Save

your

changes,

exit

from

the

configuration

program,

and

do

one

of

the

following:

If

the

configuration-setup

program

reports

the

size

of

your

new

drive

as what you expected, see “Using

Your

Operating

System

for

Partitioning”

to

partition

and

format your

drive.

If

your computer seems to lockup,

hang, or does not restart

successfully,

see

“Correcting

BIOS

Limitations

and

Partitioning

Using

Disk

on

page

and

format

your

If

the

configuration-setup

program

reports

your

new

drive

size

as

very

much

less

than what you expected, see “Correcting BIOS

Limitations

and

Partitioning

Using

Disk

Manager”

on

page

Attention:

Partitioning

and

formatting

a

hard

drive

erases

all

user

on

the

See the

that

comes

with

your

operating

system

to

determine

how

to

partition

and

format

your

procedures.

If

you

are

installing

the

primary

the

configuration-setup

program

prompts

you

for partitioning

and

formatting

information

as

part of

the

operating

system

installation

process.

If

you

are

installing

a

secondary

you

must

enter

the

commands

required

by

your

operating

system

to

partition

and

format

the

drive.

For

DOS

with

Windows,

use

the FDISK

followed

by

the
