controller into the appropriate PCI, EISA or ISA slot on the motherboard, making sure the metal plate
from the controller fits into the grooves on the computer frame. Replace the screw and connect the IDE
cables to the controller and then the hard drive. If you have any questions, refer to the installation
manual enclosed with your controller.
Backup and restore
One of the most common methods of backup is tape backup. Tape drives are available from IBM and
other major manufacturers. This method is preferred for overnight backups that run while your business
is closed or while you sleep.
Another method of backup is a removable drive. Two examples are the ZIP drive and the JAZ drive, both
manufactured by IOMEGA. These drives can be used for backup and can be attached or removed with
little trouble.
Utilities
Your Deskstar drive comes low-level formatted and free of defects. Note: Do not attempt to low-level
format your drive. If data must be removed from the drive, there are two utilities available from the Hard
Disk Drive Technical Support Center Web site at:
ZAP
Zap is a utility that will overwrite the first 128 sectors of your hard drive with zeros.
WIPE
Wipe will write zeros to every sector on your hard drive up to 8GB.
These utilities should be sufficient to return your drive to factory shipped condition.
Drive copy
If you are replacing an existing hard drive with the Deskstar drive, you may want to copy all your files
from the existing drive to the Deskstar. There are several software programs available that copy one
drive to another.
