Preparing your drive for use

One-drive system

For a quick installation we recommend you use Disk Manager to automatically partition and format your drive.

Disk Manager also ensures that your computer can access the full capacity of your hard drive. See “Installation using Disk Man- ager” on page 14.

If you do not want to use Disk Manager, you can use the stan- dard DOS commands to partition and format your drive. See “Standard DOS installation” on page 16.

Two-drive system

Use DiscWizard for a complete customized set of step-by-step instructions to install an additional drive. See “The easiest way to install your drive” on page 1.

To add a slave drive without using DiscWizard:

Use the FDISK.EXE command. See “Standard DOS installation” on page 16.

To add a slave drive using Windows 95 or Windows 98:

1.Click START.

2.Choose RUN.

3.Type FDISK. See “Standard DOS installation.”
