[. . . ] · Master with non-ATA compatible slave: Use this setting if the slave drive is not recognized. Configure the master drive with a jumper set on pins 5 and 6 and pins 7 and 8 to enable this option. · Cable select: Computers that use cable select to determine the master and slave drives by selecting or deselecting pin 28, CSEL, on the interface bus. To enable cable select, set a Options jumper block jumper on pins 5 and 6. [. . . ] Within the System Setup program, instruct the system to auto detect your new drive. Enable LBA and UDMA modes, if available and then save the settings and exit the Setup program. When your computer restarts, it should recognize your new drive. If your system still doesn't recognize your new drive, see the troubleshooting section on the back of this sheet. Caution. Do not cover, seal, or insert any object into this hole. This hole has two purposes: · To allow condensation inside the hard disc to escape · To allow air pressure inside the hard disc to equalize with ambient pressure If this hole is covered, sealed, or penetrated by any object, the drive reliability may be compromised and could lead to permanent damage--doing so voids the warranty. Handling precautions/electrostatic discharge protection · Disc drives are fragile. Handle the drive only by the edges or frame.

DiscWizard software is available at www. seagate. com and is free. During the download, the Diskette Creator creates a portable bootable diskette. Insert your bootable DiscWizard diskette and follow the instructions. DiscWizard will guide you through the installation process. Boot your computer from the Windows operating system CD-ROM or from your system startup diskette with the Windows CD loaded. Follow the instructions provided on your screen. 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. 6. Verify that your system is ATA/100 compatible with the UDMA mode setting. Some legacy BIOS cause hangs on startup or other problems if it is not ATA/100 compatible. 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 large capacity drives to 32 Gbytes. [. . . ] Seagate assumes no liability if you erase your data. Insert a bootable Windows startup diskette and restart your computer. This is provided with your Microsoft Windows operating system software. Run fdisk and create a primary DOS partition. [. . . ]
