Preparing your drive for use
Installing a single drive
For a quick installation, we recommend you use Disk Manager to
automatically partition and format your drive.
Disk Manager also ensures that your computer can access the
full capacity of your hard drive. See “Installation using Disk Man-
ager” below.
If you
do not
want to use Disk Manager, you can use the stan-
dard DOS commands to partition and format your drive. See
“Standard DOS installation” on page 14.
Installing a second, or slave drive:
Use the DiscWizard software provided with your drive to install
an additional drive. For information on running DiscWizard, see
page 1.
To add a second, or slave drive,
without
using DiscWizard:
Use the standard DOS commands FDISK and FORMAT. See
“Standard DOS installation” on page 14.
