Modifying your system settings
Some changes need to be made to your system settings so your second hard disk drive works correctly with your system.

To modify the system settings:
1.Start up the notebook.
2.Press F2 when prompted to enter the BIOS Setup utility. The Main menu opens.
3.Using the down arrow key, highlight Secondary Master.
4.Press ENTER. In the screen that opens, the Type: [AUTO] option is
highlighted.
5.Press the spacebar until the Type: option is set to [NONE].
6.Press F10, then ENTER. The system restarts.
7.Right-click the My Computer icon, then select Properties. The System Properties dialog box opens.
8.Click the Device Manager tab.
9.Click the + next to Disk drives. Three drives are listed.
10.Click the second Generic IDE Disk in the list, then click Properties. The Generic IDE Drive Properties dialog box opens.
11.Click the Settings tab.
12.In the Options area, click to remove the check mark from the Int 13 unit check box.
If this option is unavailable, check the Current drive letter assignment: text box and make sure that C: does not appear. If C: does appear, click Cancel and select the other Generic IDE Disk option in the list and repeat this Steps 11 and 12.
13.Click OK, then click OK again.

Installing the module in the notebook
Your notebook features a modular option bay located in the front panel of the notebook. In addition to your hard disk drive module, this bay also accepts CD-ROM, DVD, diskette, or LS-120 disk drive modules.
To install your hard disk drive module:
1.Close any open files and shut down your notebook.
2.Close the cover and turn your notebook over.
3.Locate the modular bay access latch. Slide and hold the latch open and use the grip near the front of the notebook to pull the drive module out of the notebook.
