Seagate 540SL, 1080SL, 851SL, 1270SL manual Disabling Maximum Overdrive

32 Medalist SL Family Installation Guide, November 1995

1.Turn the computer off.

2.Insert a bootable diskette into Drive A and turn the computer on. Your computer must boot to Drive A without loading EZ-Drive into the system memory.

3.When the boot cycle is complete, place a diskette that has the FDISK utility in Drive A.

4.Type fdisk/mbr and press ENTER. This command erases the EZ-Drive-modified master boot record on Drive C and re- places it with the standard DOS master boot record. The computer can no longer identify drives that have capacities greater than 528 Mbytes installed using EZ-Drive. You must partition and format the drive to make it accessible (see Partitioning and formatting the drive on page 21).

2.Type ez at the command line.

3.Go to the Main menu and select Installation Options. Press

ENTER.
