4. Partition and Formatting
Verify that the hard disk is recognized by the BIOS and is
reporting the full capacity of the drive. Instructions for
accessing your BIOS can be found in the computer
system manual or in the motherboard manufacturer
documentation. If the drive is not recognized in the BIOS,
set the BIOS options of your computer system to Auto
Detection and LBA mode if available. Once the drive is
recognized correctly in the BIOS, it is ready to be
partitioned and formatted.
Your operating system setup utility will provide
instructions on how to partition and format your drive
before it installs the operating system. For additional
information, see our "Partitioning and Formatting Guide

drive, check all the settings. If the system still fails to
boot up, contact the Hitachi Global Storage
