Operating System Installation Tips - IBM Deskstar 14GXP Installation Manual

Step 10: Operating system installation tips
After the drive has been formatted, install an operating system. You may encounter some of the following
issues.
Windows® 95 / Windows® 98
Windows® 95 must be version OSR2 or later to support a drive larger than 8.4 GB.
In Windows® 98 the system may hang-up when trying to self-restart. Reset or power cycle
required.
OS/2 and OS/2 Warp
OS/2 Warp 4.0 with Fixpack 5 only sees 7.9GB of the drive. The OS/2 development team is working
on this problem and plans to have a fix available.
Windows® NT
With Windows® NT 5.0, Ontrack® Disk Manager is not required. However, when creating partitions, a
reboot is required after each partition is created. After the partitions are created with Disk Manager,
they must be formatted from a command prompt. Some systems require that the installation drive for
Windows® NT 5.0 must be partitioned and formatted before installing NT 5.0
Windows® NT 4.0(service pack 3) may not see the full capacity of the larger drives. To fix this, you
may download a "hotfix" from Microsoft's® web site.
Novell Netware
Novell only sees 7.9GB of the drive. Novell is working on a fix to this limitation.
Note: Overclocking of the PCI bus is not recommended.
