Troubleshooting

If you follow the steps in the User's Guide, and the configuration-setup program recognizes your drive at its true capacity, partition
and format your drive using instructions given in the "Partitioning and formatting your drive" section in the User's Guide.
If the configuration-setup program reports the drive capacity as smaller than what it actually is, you must use Disk Manager to access
the full capacity of the drive using the instructions in the "Partitioning and formatting using DiskManager" section in the User's Guide.
If you are using Microsoft Windows 2000 or Windows Me, when DiskManager requires the selection of an operating system choice, select
Windows 98 and choose to format and partition with FAT 32.
If your drive functions incorrectly after you restart your computer, check to make sure that the drive interface cable and the drive
power supply cable are connected correctly. Next, attempt to disable the auto-detection facility of your setup software as described in
"Step 1. Solving Problems" in the User's Guide Appendix B.
If your drive continues to function incorrectly after performing the above actions, your computer might have problems starting up
because the setup program in your BIOS cannot correctly identify your high-capacity drive. To solve these BIOS problems, you must
reconfigure the jumpers on your drive to the desired setting selected from Set B in the figure that corresponds to your disk drive. This
will reduce the capacity that your BIOS sees so it can recognize your drive. You must use DiskManager to access the full capacity of
the drive using the instructions in the "Partitioning and formatting using DiskManager" section in the User's Guide.
If your computer still functions incorrectly, contact the IBM HelpCenter
IBM" in the User's Guide Appendix B.
