Advanced Format technology. Advanced
Format increases the physical sector size on
hard drives from 512 bytes to 4096 (4K)
bytes, which increases drive capacities and
improves error correction capabilities.
Please consult the Hitachi Advanced Format
Drives page for more information on using
these hard drives.

Operating Systems
The product was found to be compatible
with the following operating systems.
Mac OS 10.5/10.6
Microsoft Windows XP
Microsoft Windows XP SP2 & SP3
Microsoft Windows Vista *
Microsoft Windows Vista x86 & x64 *
Microsoft Windows 7 *
Microsoft Windows 7 x86 & x64*
Slax Linux
Note: * Windows 7 users of Advanced Format
drives are encouraged by Microsoft (and
Hitachi) to apply Microsoft hotfix KB982018.
Be careful to note that this hotfix number is very
similar to a related older and less-complete
hotfix KB981208.
Windows 7 and Windows Vista SP1+ may fail
to install on Advanced Format drives. The
problem is a lack of tolerance for drives that
report themselves as Advanced Format drives in
Identify Device words 106 & 209. The
symptom is a Windows installation message to
the effect of "cannot continue installation."
Advanced Format drives that do not identify
themselves as such do not appear to be affected.
This is a known Microsoft bug, and Microsoft
has identified two workarounds.
- Use latest vendor-specific SATA drives from
Intel (see above), AMD, NVIDIA, etc. during
Windows installation
- Slipstream KB982018 hotfix into Win7
installation media prior to Win7 installation
Regardless of the method used to work around
the Windows installation problem, if any such
workaround is needed, it is still recommended to
apply hotfix KB982018 (if Win7) and up-to-date
SATA controller drivers.
