* Fdisk reports binary megabytes (1,048,576 bytes).
** EZ-Drive reports decimal megabytes (1,000,000 bytes).
CAUTION. Repartitioning an existing drive destroys all the
data. Be sure to create a backup before repartitioning an
existing drive.
Q13: My existing drive was installed using Ontrack Disk
Manager. Can I use EZ-Drive to install my new hard drive?
A: Yes. Refer to Converting Ontrack Disk Manager Partitions to
EZ-Drive Partitions on page 17.
Q14: Can I install Windows NT 3.51 or 4.0, or OS/2 Warp 3.0
or 4.0 on my drive that originally was installed with EZ-Drive?
A: Yes, but you must disable floppy boot protection before
installing these operating systems. Refer to the section Floppy
Boot Protection.
Q15: Do I need to use the Cable Select (CSEL) jumper option?
A: No, this jumper option is only used as an alternative by
some system manufacturers to designate drive(s) as master or
slave. This jumper option requires a special cable and hardware
support in the host system. The IDE interface cable in your
hard drive package does not support CSEL. Using the CSEL
jumper option does not affect hard drive performance or
functionality.
