32-bit Disk Access under Windows 3.1.

The 32-bit disk access feature in Windows 3.1 does not work with drives that have capacities greater than 528 Mbytes. If you want to use 32-bit disk access under Windows 3.1, install the Seagate replacement 32-bit access driver, SEG32BIT.386, located on your DiscWizard diskette.

Note. If you install Windows 3.1 on a high-capacity hard drive, the first time you start Windows you may see a message suggesting that you disable 32-bit disk access. Choose to disable 32-bit disk access to open Windows.

Keep your original box and packing materials for storing or shipping your drive. The box has a Seagate Approved Package label. Shipping a drive in an unapproved container voids the warranty. Call your authorized Seagate distributor to purchase additional boxes. The figure to the right shows how a drive fits in an approved single-pack box, including the packing materials.

Warranty. See your authorized Seagate distributor or dealer. Preinstalled or bundled software is provided “as is.” There are no warranties of merchantablity or fitness for a particular purpose. All such warranties are expressly and specifically disclaimed.

Maintenance and repair. Seagate drives do not require maintenance. The head/disc assembly is sealed; a broken seal voids the warranty. Seagate customer-service centers are the only facilities authorized to repair Seagate drives.
