As described on the last page in your Zip drive User’s Guide, the Zip drive’s IDE Device configuration must be set to Disabled (which will allow Windows 95 to perform the configuration) or your system may hang. Your Zip drive will be detected and configured when you start Windows 95. If you enter System Setup and use the option to return to default values, be sure to reset or check that the field for the Zip drive is set to Disabled.
See the Zip drive User’s Guide for information on using the drive in Windows 95 DOS mode.
IDE Device Configuration: In this field, you specify whether the system will automatically configure your IDE device, or whether you intend to manually enter the information. The options are Auto Configured, User Definable, or Disabled.
If you choose the Auto Configured option, the Number of Cylinders, Number of Heads, Number of Sectors, and Maximum Capacity fields are automatically calculated by the BIOS; no input is necessary or possible. These fields will be for reference only.
If you choose the User Definable option, you will need to know how many cylinders, heads, and sectors to specify for your IDE device. Refer to the documentation that came with your IDE device for this information.
Set this field to Disabled for any unused IDE connectors.
