EZ-Drive is easy and safe to use and versatile. If you already have
a drive installed, EZ-Drive will not alter its format and files unless
you instruct it to override the partition and format. You can choose
a fully automatic installation that establishes one partition and
quick formats the drive or a custom installation that lets you set
multiple partitions of equal size (see page 15 for instruction on
creating multiple partitions of unequal size). You can choose a
full format and other options.
Note. You must have DOS 4.0 or later to use EZ-Drive. It works
in most computers but does not support:
•
Toshiba laptops, XT or Micro Channel computers
•
Some Local Bus adapters that use 32-bit mode
•
Some systems that have PIO mode 3 active
•
OS/2 and NT above 528 Mbytes
Caution. Because EZ-Drive uses about 4 Kbytes of conven-
tional memory, some older virus-detection programs
may misidentify EZ-Drive as a virus. If all 640 Kbytes
of conventional memory are not free when these virus
programs inspect conventional memory, they assume
a virus is present and clean and restore the memory.
If this happens, information about the EZ-Drive in-
stalled drive is destroyed and the drive cannot be
identified by the computer. Do not use these programs.
Note. The Seagate version of EZ-Drive cannot install a non-Sea-
gate drive without a Seagate drive present.
1. Boot your computer with the EZ-Drive diskette. This is a
precaution to ensure that the EZ-Drive installation does not
conflict with any terminate-and-stay resident (TSR) programs
that may be in memory.
Caution. Do not write protect the EZ-Drive diskette. The system
must write important information back to the diskette.
