1. Turn your system power off, check th e ID E i nterface and power
supply cables.
2. Check jumper settings.
3. Turn on your system power.
4. Try to enter your CMOS setup, and set th e drive type to auto.
If your system still doesn’t respond, you may have a system BIOS
that doesn’ t support drives with more than 4095 cylinders. If th is is
the case, these solution s are available:
1. Use EZ-Drive.
If the system locks up before you can e nter CMOS, you may need
to turn off your system power and di sconnect the IDE cable from
the system to access your CMOS setup.
Enter your CMOS setup. Refer to your s ystem manual for
instructions.
Select the Hard Disk Type option for the new Western Digita l
hard drive. Select a us er defined drive type and ent er: 1023x16x63.
Reconnect the IDE cable to the system.
The new settings allow your syst em to boot so that you can inst all
EZ-Drive to access the fu ll d rive capacity.

If you don’t have a user defined drive type, follow step 2 or 3 below to
change the parameters reported to the BIOS. In the future, if you
move this drive to another system, you must put the jump er back
to the standard position.
2. Rejumper the dr ive as shown in Figure 4 on page 6, and install
EZ-Drive. If you use the alternate jumper settings, you must
install EZ-Drive.
Note: These special jump er settings WILL NOT wor k for OS/2 Warp,
Novell NetWare, or Unix.

3. Upgrade your BIOS.
A properly upgraded BIOS will support the drive. Contact your
system manufacturer. See page 3 for a l ist of common system
manufacturers and page 7 for BIOS sources an d thei r p hone
numbers.

Hard Drives (Used to overcome th e BIO S limi ta ti ons described in this section.)
Note: Use these jumper settings only if you e ncounter the specific BIOS limitatio n described in this section. When usin g these jumper settings, you
MUST install EZ-Drive.
