Installation using Disk Manager

1. Boot your computer from a bootable system diskette (use MS
DOS Version 5.0 or later). Booting from a diskette ensures
that the Disk Manager installation does not conflict with any
terminate-and-stay-resident (TSR) programs.
2. Insert your DiscWizard diskette. The Disk Manager software is
stored on this diskette.
3. At the DOS prompt, type DM and press
4. Follow the onscreen instructions until you see the Select an
Installation Option menu.
5. Select either (E)asy Disk Installation or (A)dvanced Disk
Installation.
Because DOS computers cannot access partitions larger
than 2.1 Gbytes, Disk Manager may have to divide your hard
drive into multiple partitions.
If you select (E)asy Disk Installation , Disk Manager creates a
2.1-Gbyte partition and a second partition using the remain-
der of your hard disc. However, if most of your files are
smaller than 32 Kbytes, you may want to create several
smaller partitions to make more efficient use of your hard disc
space. To create smaller partitions, select (A) Advanced Disk
Installation from the Disk Manager main menu.
6. At this point, Disk Manager lists all the hard drives that it can
recognize. You should see your new Seagate drive and your
existing hard drive, if any.
If any hard drive is not recognized, exit Disk Manager and
turn off your computer. Check all cables, jumpers and BIOS
settings. Then start at step 1 to run Disk Manager again.
