Transferring the software from the drive
Required materials:
• Diskette Drive A
• A bootable, blank, 1.2-Mbyte or larger diskette for Drive A
• A bootable diskette with the Format command
Recent developments in drive technology have pushed drive
capacities beyond the limits that many older computers using
DOS can address. Seagate provides software that allows these
computers to surpass the address limit and access your new
drive’s full capacity. The software is stored on the drive at the
factory and must be transferred to a diskette in Drive A before
you partition and format the drive. The files stored on the drive
include:
• EZ-Drive. This is drive installation software that enables com-
puters with BIOSs that restrict the hard disc capacity to 528
Mbytes to surpass the 528-Mbyte barrier.
• SEG32BIT.386. This is a 32-bit disk access driver to replace
the native Windows 32-bit disk access driver. It extends 32-bit
disk access support to drive capacities above 528 Mbytes,
multiple block read/write and PIO modes 3 and 4.
• Seamove. This is a program that automatically copies the
software and README files to a bootable diskette in Drive A.
It removes the factory-installed partition and format when the
files are copied.
• README. This is a text file that contains information about
the Seamove transfer program.
