Configuring the computer for your drive
The hardware part of your installation should now be complete.
Software installation informs your computer operating software
about your Seagate disc drive characteristics. You can then
divide your drive into partitions called "logical drives."
DOS Installation
To install your Seagate disc drive in your computer software,
your computer operating system should be Microsoft DOS ver-
sion 4.0 or higher. Your SCSI adapter card must be able to
address greater than two gigabytes.
If you already have a hard disc drive on your computer and you
are installing a second drive, now is a good time to evaluate
the status and quality of your backups. Once you are satisfied
with the status of your backups, then proceed.
Caution. Determine which drive is to be partitioned in a two
drive system.
• Turn your computer on and boot-up from your existing hard
drive or from a diskette in drive A, whichever is applicable.
Watch the screen for text that tells which key(s) to press to
branch into the system setup program. Hit CTL-ALT-DEL to
boot-up again if you missed it. Choose to go into setup.
