[. . . ] Alternate capacity jumper: Drives with a 40-Gbyte capacity or higher are limited to 32 Gbytes. This jumper is used to provide a solution to specific legacy BIOS problems. When using the alternate capacity jumper, Disk Manager software is required to achieve the drive's full capacity. To run DiscWizard: Download the software from www. seagate. com, and follow the online instructions to complete the installation. If you cannot run DiscWizard, follow the instructions on this installation sheet to install and configure your drive. Attaching Cables and Mounting the Drive 1.

Preparing the Drive with Disk Manager or DiscWizard Installing a Single Drive If you are installing a single drive, we recommend using Disk Manager to automatically partition and format your drive. Disk Manager software is available at www. seagate. com. During the download, the Diskette Creator creates a bootable diskette. Insert your bootable Disk Manager diskette and follow the instructions. Disk Manager will guide you through the installation process. Boot your computer from the Windows Me, Windows 98 or Windows 95 startup diskette with the Windows CD loaded. At the prompt, type setup. For more information, see the earlier section on the Ultra ATA/100 requirements. In addition, some legacy BIOS may cause a hang due to the large drive capacity. Consider using the alternate capacity jumper if it is available on your drive model. Use the alternate capacity jumper if your computer does not support higher capacity drives. The jumper will limit the 80, 60 and 40-Gbyte drive capacities to 32 Gbytes. If these steps do not solve the problem, contact your dealer or visit http://seatools. seagate. com to download SeaTools disc diagnostics software and more troubleshooting advice. Seagate Support Services Internet For online information about Seagate products, visit www. seagate. com or e-mail your disc questions to: DiscSupport@Seagate. com. Installing a Slave Drive If you are installing a second drive, or slave, to your system, use the DiscWizard software available at www. seagate. com. If you do not want to install your drive using either DiscWizard or Disk Manager, see "Standard Microsoft Installation" below to partition and format your drive. Technical Support If you need further help installing your drive, first consult your dealer. Dealers are familiar with their unique system configurations and can help you with system conflicts and other technical issues.

Seagate assumes no liability if you erase your data. Drive Partitioning Partitioning divides the drive into sections or partitions that function as separate logical drives (labeled C, D, E, etc. ). Insert a bootable startup diskette and restart your computer. Run fdisk and create a primary DOS partition. Mark the partition as active to make the partition bootable. Drive Formatting !Use the correct drive letters to prevent formatting a drive that already contains data.
