Partition and format
Using one of the two methods given below, partition and
format your drive:
1. Ontrack Disk Manager
i. For Windows 95 or 98 boot to a DOS prompt with
the system startup diskette and insert the Disk
Manager diskette.
For Windows NT or another operating system boot
with the Disk Manager diskette and select the
appropriate operating system.
ii. Type DM and press Enter to run Disk Manager.
iii. Under Select an Installation Option select (E)asy
Disk Installation.
iv. Select the drive to be installed. Disk Manager will
partition and format the drive. A status dialog will
indicate a successful installation.
2. FDISK.EXE and FORMAT.EXE
Partitioning with FDISK.EXE
FDISK.EXE or a similar partitioning software from the
operating system may be used in place of Ontrack
Disk Manager to partition your drive. Follow the
instructions provided with your operating system.
NOTE: If the drive capacity displayed by Fdisk does
not match the capacity of your drive, Ontrack Disk
Manager may be required to utilize the full capacity.
Formatting with FORMAT.EXE
Follow the instructions provided with your operating
system to format the drive. Formatting will verify the
hard disk media and create file allocation tables for
the partition.
Final note
If your system does not boot up after completing the
installation, recheck all settings. If the system still fails
to boot up, remove the Travelstar drive from the system
and contact the IBM Technology Group Support Center.
