Q16: When I create custom partitions using EZ-Drive or Fdisk,
my primary partition is slightly smaller than the size I entered.
A: Partitions must begin on a cylinder boundary. To start a
partition on a cylinder boundary, utilities such as EZ-Drive and
Fdisk create a primary partition that may be a few megabytes
smaller than the size you entered. Both EZ-Drive and Fdisk
add these megabytes to your second partition. You do not lose
any megabytes.
Q17: I installed my new hard drive, used the alternate jumper
settings, and installed EZ-Drive, but Windows NT 3.51 or 4.0
does not properly recognize my hard drive. How can I access my
new hard drive with Windows NT 3.51 or 4.0?
A: Our hard drives installed using the alternate jumper settings
and EZ-Drive are incompatible with Windows NT 3.51 and
4.0. You need to follow the steps outlined below so Windows
NT 3.51 or 4.0 can recognize your new hard drive.
1. Turn off the system power.
2. Disconnect the IDE interface cable from the system.
3. Remove the jumpers from the alternate jumper positions.
4. Use the standard jumper settings on page 6.
5. Enter CMOS setup. Refer to your system manual for
instructions.
Select the Hard Disk Type option for your new Western Digital
hard drive. Select a user defined drive type and enter 1023
cylinders, 16 heads, and 63 sectors. If your system does not
have a user defined drive type, select Type 9.
Note: If none of these options are available, upgrade your
system BIOS to support the full capacity of your new hard
drive.
6. Reconnect your IDE interface cable to the system.
7. Use EZ-Drive to set up your new hard drive.
