∙A device conflict occurs between the native Windows 32-bit disk access driver and drives that have capacities greater than 528 Mbytes. To get the advantages of 32-bit disk access and more, install the SEG32BIT.386 32-bit disk access driver. Installation instructions are on page 23.
Disabling EZ-Drive
Required materials:
∙A bootable diskette
∙A diskette that has FDISK. EXE
To disable EZ-Drive, use the DOS utility FDISK/MBR. This utility replaces the EZ-Drive boot information on Drive C with the DOS master boot record. The DOS master boot record uses the information in System Setup to access the drive. Your computer will stop accessing EZ-Drive-installed drives that are larger than 528 Mbytes. To access your drive’s full capacity, you must reconfigure System Setup with the translation geometry shown for your drive in the table on page 20. You must also partition and format your drive.
Caution. Partitioning and formatting erases the data on the drive. Back up your data before you disable EZ-Drive.
