Preparing the drive using DiscWizard
Installing a single drive
If you are installing a single drive, we recommend using DiscWizard to
automatically partition and format your drive. DiscWizard software is avail-
able at www.seagate.com and is free. During the download, the Diskette
Creator creates a portable bootable diskette. To run DiscWizard:
1. Insert your bootable DiscWizard diskette and follow the instructions.
DiscWizard 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 Dis-
cWizard software available at www.seagate.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 soft-
ware.
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
partition) 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 auto-
detect 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 version from www.seagate.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 compati-
ble. 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.
Note. If these tips do not answer your question or solve the problem, con-
