To look up the jumper settings for Maxtor hard drives, see “Figure 6 Jumper Block Positions” on page 7. For other manufacturers’ hard drives, use the Hard Disk Information feature of the MaxBlast software or visit the manufacturer’s web site.

This new drive is now ready to use, and you do not need to complete any further steps.

b.Boot drive install: When MaxBlast is finished copying data to your new boot drive, remove any CDs or floppies, and perform a normal shutdown. Continue to the next step.

4.Unplug the ATA cable from both the new and old drives.

5.Check the jumper settings on both drives to make sure they are set to cable select.

If you are using Windows 2000 or XP, see “Using a Drive Larger than 137 GB” on page 22 to avoid potential data loss. Failure to install the correct service pack and the EnableBigLBA registry patch will cause data loss when accessing the drive beyond 137 GB.

6.Power the system on. At the Windows desktop, double-click the My Computer icon. The newly installed boot drive will appear as drive letter C. The old hard drive can now be used for additional storage.
