Q3: I get the message "HDD Controller Failure" after installing
my Western Digital hard drive.
A: This may appear when you first boot the system after
installing the hard drive. Press F1 to continue. If the message
continues to display, retrace the steps outlined for CMOS
setup, cabling, and jumper configuration. Make sure to follow
the instructions correctly. Then follow the instructions outlined
in the section Installing an Operating System from Floppy Disk
with EZ-BIOS Installed on page 20.
Q4: Must I do anything to my original hard drive when adding
my new Western Digital hard drive?
A: Yes, one hard drive must be designated as a master and the
other as a slave on the same IDE interface cable. We
recommend designating your new hard drive as the master. For
non-Western Digital hard drives, consult your original hard
drive documentation for master/slave jumper positions.
Q5: Why is the capacity of my new hard drive less than it should
be?
A: This may be due to varying definitions of a megabyte. Hard
drive suppliers define a decimal megabyte as 1,000,000 bytes
6
). Alternatively, a binary megabyte is defined as 1,048,576
(10
20
(2 ). This is why some utilities show 3815.4 MB, while others
will show 4000.7 MB for the same drive. See the following
table.
