Installing the drive in Windows XP or Windows 2000 systems
DiscWizardTM, available exclusively from Seagate®, provides you with cus- tomized installation instructions for your hard drive. You can get this free disc drive installation software from our web site at www.seagate.com/support or run the program directly from your web browser.

Follow the instructions on the download page at www.seagate.com to create a diskette and complete the installation.
If you cannot run DiscWizard, follow the instructions on this installation sheet to install and configure your drive.
Preparing the drive using DiscWizard
Installing a single drive
If you are installing a single drive, use DiscWizard to automatically partition and format your drive. DiscWizard software is available at www.seagate.com and is free. During the download, the Diskette Creator creates a portable bootable diskette. To run DiscWizard:
1.Insert your bootable DiscWizard diskette and follow the instructions. Dis- cWizard will guide you through the installation process.
2.Boot your computer from the Windows operating system CD or from your system startup diskette with the Windows CD loaded. At the prompt, type setup. Follow the instructions provided on your screen.
Installing a slave drive
If you are installing a second drive, or slave, to your system, use DiscWizard software available at www.seagate.com.
If you do not want to install your drive using DiscWizard, see “Standard Microsoft Installation” below to partition and format your drive.
Standard Microsoft installation
Caution. Partitioning or formatting a drive erases all data on the drive. Seagate assumes no liability if you erase your data.
1.Insert a bootable Windows Install CD and restart your computer. This is provided with your Microsoft Windows operating system software.
2.Run fdisk and create a primary DOS partition.
3.Mark the partition as active to make the partition bootable.
Drive formatting
Caution. Use the correct drive letters to prevent formatting a drive that already contains data.
1.At the A: prompt, type format x: (where x is the letter of your first new partition) and then press the Enter key. Repeat the format process for all new partitions.
2.Proceed to “Loading the operating system” below.
Loading the operating system
Note. The operating system needs to be installed on the master drive only. It is not required when adding a second drive.
1.Boot your computer from a Windows operating system CD or from your system startup diskette with the Windows CD loaded in the CD drive.
2.At the prompt, type setup and continue with the Windows setup as instructed on your screen.

Windows Troubleshooting
If your drive is not working properly, these troubleshooting tips may help solve the problem.
1.Does the drive spin up? A spinning drive produces a faint whine and clicking noise that begins when power is applied. If your drive does not spin, check that the power connector and interface cable are securely attached and the jumpers are installed correctly.
2.Does the computer recognize the drive? Verify that the drive is enabled in the system CMOS or setup program. If not, select the autode- tect option and enable it. If your drive has a problem, it may not be recog- nized by the system.
3.Does FDISK detect the drive? Run the FDISK program located on your Windows startup diskette. Type fdisk/status to verify that your hard drive is present and recognized by the system.
4.Does Scandisk find the drive
5.Why won’t the drive format to full capacity? Verify that your BIOS has autodetect and LBA mode enabled. Otherwise, you may need to use DiskWizard to achieve the full capacity of your drive. Download the latest version from www.seagate.com or find it on your CD. Additional informa- tion is provided at: support.seagate.com.
6.Why does my computer hang on startup? Verify that your system is ATA/100 compatible with the UDMA mode setting. Some legacy BIOS cause hangs on startup if it is not ATA/100 compatible. For more informa- tion, see the earlier section on the Ultra ATA/100 requirements. In addi- tion, some legacy BIOS may cause a hang due to the large drive capacity. Use the alternate capacity jumper and DiskWizard software if your computer does not support higher capacity drives.
Note. If these tips do not solve the problem, contact your dealer or visit http://seatools.seagate.com to download SeaTools® disc diagnostics software and more troubleshooting advice.
