15. Why did my drive letter assignments change after installing my IBM Deskstar?
Drive letters are assigned by the operating system, not by the BIOS, hard drive, or IBM
DriveGuide Easy Installation Software. The operating system assigns drive letters with
each boot. The floppy drives are assigned first, then the hard drives, starting with the
Primary Master ATA/IDE hard disk drive, followed by remaining devices in the system.
16. When do I configure my drive for 15 heads rather than 16 heads?
The default configuration of the IBM Deskstar is 16 heads. Your system may require the
drive to be jumpered to 15 heads. Some computer systems translate a drive greater than
4 GB by multiplying the head count by 16. The result (16 x 16 = 256) is interpreted as 0
heads with 0 capacity and is an illegal head count. Jumpering the drive to 15 heads (16 x
15 = 240) produces a legal translation. The translated cylinder count varies to achieve
the drive's full capacity.
