4. Partition and format
Partition and format the drive using either of these two
methods:
y
Disk Manager 2000
i.
Boot the Disk Manager 2000 installation utility
ii.
If the Disk Manager 2000 configuration matches
your new system configuration,
continue
.
If the
system configuration is not a match or if you
want to proceed manually, select
no
. Then
verify the BIOS settings, cabling, and jumpers.
Run Disk Manager 2000 again.
iii.
Disk Manager 2000 determines available parti-
tion sizes based on the operating system to be
installed. Select the partition sizes for your
installation.
iv.
Click “Finish” to complete the partitioning and
formatting of your drive.
y
FDISK.EXE and FORMAT.EXE
(or a similar parti-
tioning software from the operating system)
Follow the instructions provided with your operating
system to partition the drive. If FDISK.EXE recog-
nizes only 8.4 GB of a drive, the BIOS may not
support Interrupt 13 Extensions.
Format the drive by following the instructions pro-
vided with FORMAT.EXE. Formatting will verify the
hard disk media and create file allocation tables for
the partition.
5. Boot up the computer
If the system does not boot up after the installation of the
drive, check all the settings. If the system still fails to
boot up, contact the Hitachi Global Storage
Technologies Support Center.
