Preparing the drive using DiscWizard
Installing a single drive
If you are installing a single drive, we recommend using DiscWizard to auto-
matically partition and format your drive. DiscWizard software is available at
www.sea
gate.com and is free. During the download, the Diskette Creator cre-
ates 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-ROM 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 the DiscWiz-
ard software available at www.sea
gate.com.
If you do not want to install your drive using either DiscWizard or Disk Man-
ager, 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 startup diskette 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 par-
tition) 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 your Windows operating system CD-ROM 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.
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 autodetect option
and enable it. If your drive has a problem, it may not be recognized 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 defect-free? Scandisk is a utility located
on your Windows startup diskette that scans the drive for defects. If defects
are detected, this may be an indication of a problem.
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 Disk
Manager to achieve the full capacity of your drive. Download the latest ver-
sion from www.sea
gate.com or find it on your CD.
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 or other problems if it is not ATA/100 compatible.
For more information, see the earlier section on the Ultra ATA/100 require-
ments. 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.
Note. If these tips do not answer your question or solve the problem, contact

disc diagnostics software and more troubleshooting advice.
