Installing the Drive
If you are having problems with a newly-installed drive, check
the following:
1.
If your dealer installed the drive, consult that person about
the problem.
2.
If you installed the hard disk in your computer yourself, did
you carefully follow all the instructions in Chapter 5 of this
manual? Review the instructions and check all the cable
connections
to make sure you have installed it correctly.
Also check the jumper settings on your drive to make sure
they are set correctly.
3.
If you installed a hard disk drive and connected it to the hard
disk drive connector on the main system board, did you
run SETUP to update the computer’s configuration
information? Check to make sure you chose the correct
drive type, and that the FDD option
is set to Enabled. See
Chapter 2 of the
Setup Guide
for instructions.
4. If you installed a non-Epson hard disk drive, was it
physically formatted by the manufacturer? A blank, new
hard disk must be formatted (or
initialized)
before you
can partition it and install an operating system on it. This
type of format is usually done by the manufacturer; if
yours was not, you must do it yourself. If the drive came
with its own format utility, use that program; if not, follow
the instructions in Appendix B under “Hard Disk Format.”
Note that this physical type of format is different from
the software-based type of formatting commands (such
as the MS-DOS SELECT or FORMAT commands). See
“Preparing the Drive,” below, for more information.
