Configuring the BIOS
After completing the drive installation, restart your computer. Your com-
puter may automatically detect your new drive. If your computer does not
automatically detect your new drive, follow the steps below.
1. Restart your computer. While the computer restarts, run the system
setup program (sometimes called BIOS or CMOS setup). This is usu-
ally done by pressing a special key, such as DELETE, ESC, or F1 dur-
ing the startup process.
2. Within the system setup program, instruct the system to auto detect
your new drive.
3. Save the settings and exit the setup program.
When your computer restarts, it should recognize your new drive. If your
system still doesn’t recognize your new drive, see the troubleshooting
section on this sheet.
System manufacturer’s operating system restore CD
Refer to your mobile system documentation for specific instructions on

computers require the use of an operating system restore CD, originally
shipped with the system, to reload the operating system on the hard drive.

Preparing the drive using DiscWizard
We recommend using DiscWizard Starter Edition to automatically partition

www.seagate.com and is free. To run DiscWizard:
1. Insert your bootable DiscWizard Starter Edition diskette or CD and fol-
low the instructions. DiscWizard will guide you through the installation
process.
2. Boot your computer from the Windows operating system CD-ROM or
from your system startup diskette with the Windows CD loaded. Follow
the instructions provided on your screen.
Troubleshooting
If your drive is not working properly, these troubleshooting tips may help
solve the problem.
1. Does the drive spin up? A spinning drive produces a faint whine and
clicking noise. If your drive does not spin, check that the power con-
nector and interface cable are securely attached.
2. Does the computer recognize the drive? Verify that the drive is
enabled in the system CMOS or setup program. If not, select the auto
detect option and enable it. If your drive has a problem, it may not be
recognized by the system. If the operating system does not recognize
the drive, you need to load your host adapter drivers.
3. Does FDISK detect the drive? Run the FDISK program located on
your Windows startup diskette. Type fdisk/status to verify that your
hard drive is present and recognized by the system.
4. I’m running Windows 98 and FDISK is not reporting the full
capacity of my drive. Why? You need to upgrade your version of
FDISK if you are using the diskettes or CD that came with your original
Windows 95 or 98 operating system. Microsoft provides a free down-
loadable FDISK upgrade. See Microsoft Knowledgebase article num-
ber: 263044 located at http://support.microsoft.com.
5. Does ScanDisk find the drive defect-free? ScanDisk is a utility
located on your Windows startup diskette that scans the drive for
defects. If defects are detected, this may be an indication of a problem.
6. Why does my computer hang on startup? Verify that your system is
ATA compatible. You need either an ATA-compatible motherboard con-
nector or ATA host adapter to use this drive.
Note. If these tips do not answer your question or solve the problem, con-
