A device conflict occurs between the native Windows 32-bit
disk access driver and drives with more than 528 Mbytes. To
get the advantages of 32-bit disk access and more, install the
SEG32BIT 32-bit disk access driver. See "Windows 32-bit disk
access" on page 21 for installation instructions.
Disabling EZ-Drive
To disable EZ-Drive, remove the EZ-Drive boot information writ-
ten to the boot sector of Drive C. Your computer will stop access-
ing EZ-Drive-installed drives with more than 528 Mbytes. The
data files are not affected. For this operation, you need a bootable
diskette and a diskette that has the FDISK utility.
Note. Before you disable EZ-Drive, back up your data files.
1. Turn the computer off.
2. Insert a bootable diskette into Drive A and turn the com-
puter on. Your computer must boot to Drive A without
loading EZ-Drive into the system memory.
3. When the boot cycle is complete, place a diskette that has
the FDISK utility in Drive A if it is not on the boot diskette.
4. Type fdisk/mbr and press
the EZ-Drive-modified master boot record on Drive C and
replaces it with the standard DOS master boot record. The
computer can no longer identify drives with more than 528
Mbytes installed using EZ-Drive. You must partition and
format the drive to make it accessible (see page 20).
