MAXTOR ATA HARD DRIVE INSTALLATION GUIDE
Installing an Additional Storage Drive or Replacement Boot
Drive (Windows 98, Me, 2000, XP)
This section provides instructions for installing the hard drive in an existing
system as additional storage or as a replacement for a currently functioning boot
drive. Depending on your preference, you can use the Windows or DOS version
of MaxBlast.
1. Choose one of the following options:
– From the Windows desktop, insert the MaxBlast CD in the CD-ROM
drive, and choose to install the MaxBlast software for Windows.
– Boot your system from the MaxBlast CD and choose Setup Your Hard
Disk. You may need to change your BIOS settings to boot from the CD.
See page 15 for details.
2. When the MaxBlast program starts, follow the on-screen prompts to step
through the installation process. Choose whether to install the drive as
additional storage or as a new boot drive.
3. Depending on your selection, do one of the following:
a. Additional storage install: After the drive has been set up as additional
storage, double-click the My Computer icon. A new drive letter and icon
should appear. This new drive is now ready to use, and you do not need to
complete any further steps.
b. Boot drive install: When MaxBlast is finished copying data to your new
boot drive, remove any CDs or floppies, and perform a normal shutdown.
Continue to the next step.

Windows 98/Me Note: Some tools built
into Windows 98/ME, such as Scandisk
and Defrag, do not function properly on
hard drive partitions larger than 137 GB.
Third-party utilities such as Norton
Utilities 2002 can be used to replace the
functionality of Scandisk and Defrag for
partitions larger than 137 GB.
