4.Select drive type 2 for your new ST3660A. If your computer does not offer drive type 2, use the following values: 615 cylinders, 4 heads and 17 sectors.

Note. These are interim drive type values that allow you to access the drive for extracting the installation files.

5.Activate the prompt for the ST3660A drive.

6.Type seamove.

This command transfers the files from the ST3660A to the diskette in Drive A. When the transfer is complete, the files are erased, the drive partition is removed and the computer is rebooted. The computer returns an invalid drive specification error when you try to access the ST3660A.

This completes the file extraction.

Using the installation software

The EZ-Drive installation software allows your computer to ac- cess the ST3660A’s full 545 Mbytes. It works by bypassing the BIOS during the boot sequence and using information it creates on Drive C to identify the drive prior to loading DOS. During the installation, EZ-Drive:

∙Determines how many drives are installed

∙Sets the drive type in System Setup so that the computer knows the drive is available

∙Modifies the Drive C boot record with the new drive’s transla- tion geometry

∙Partitions and formats the new drive

∙Copies the boot files to the new drive if it is Drive C

∙Enables Maximum Overdrive™ on drives that use this feature. Maximum Overdrive enables the read/write multiple com- mand, enhancing performance. The Change Installed Fea- tures option that appears in the dialog box when the format is complete allows you to disable Maximum Overdrive.
