The Easiest Way to Install Your Drive

DiscWizard is Seagate’s exclusive Windows program that is included with
your drive for easy drive installation. You can use this software if you have a
bootable hard drive in your computer and are running

instructions for your system.

To run DiscWizard:

• Select Run from the Windows Start menu and type

the drive letter of your CD-ROM.

If you cannot run DiscWizard, follow the instructions on this installation
sheet to install and configure your drive.

What You Need

• Phillips screwdriver and four 6-32 UNC drive mounting screws

• A standard 40-pin ATA interface cable,

Ultra ATA 100 (max length: 18 inches)

or

an 80-conductor cable to run

• An unused drive power cable for your new drive

• Windows 98 to support drives greater than 33.8 Gbytes

Ultra ATA/100 Requirements

The drive can support transfer rates up to 100 Mbytes per second
(UDMA 5) in Ultra ATA/100 mode. For your drive to run in this mode, you
need the following:

• A computer that supports UDMA mode 5

• A 40-pin 80-conductor cable (available from your dealer)

• A software utility to confirm and activate Ultra ATA/100. Seagate

a utility called UATA100.exe. You can download the latest version from our
Web site at www.seagate.com.

Handling Precautions

Disc drives are extremely fragile.
Keep the drive in the protective SeaShell container until you are

ready to install it. This minimizes handling damage.
The drive has a protective cover called SeaShield

this permanent cover—it protects the drive from electrostatic
discharge (ESD) and minor impact damage.

Protect your drive from static discharge by wearing a grounded wrist
strap throughout the installation process.

Always handle the drive by the edges or frame.
Do not apply pressure or attach labels to the circuit board or the

top of the drive.

Setting the Jumpers

Refer to the jumper settings below to configure the drive for your system.

Circuit Board

• Master or single-drive: The drive is shipped configured for a master

or a single drive with a jumper set on pins 7 and 8.

• Drive is slave: To configure the drive as a slave, or second drive on

the cable, remove all the jumpers.

• Master with non-ATA compatible slave: Use this setting if the slave

drive is not recognized. Configure the master drive with a jumper set on
pins 5 and 6 and pins 7 and 8 to enable this option.

• Cable-select option: Computers that use cable-select determine the

master and slave drives by selecting or deselecting pin 28, CSEL, on
the interface bus. To enable cable select, set a jumper on pins 5 and 6.

• Alternate capacity jumper: Drives with a 40-Gbyte capacity are limited

to 33.8 Gbytes. Drives with 30 Gbytes or less are limited to 2.1 Gbytes.

Attaching Cables and Mounting the Drive

1. Attach one end of the drive interface cable to the interface connector
on your computer’s motherboard

2. Attach the interface connector and the power connector to the drive.

Note. You can mount the drive in any orientation. Usually it is mounted

with the circuit board down.

3. Secure the drive in the computer using four 6-32 UNC mounting
screws in either the side-mounting or bottom-mounting holes. Insert
the screws no more than 0.20 inch (5.08 mm) into the bottom-mounting
holes and no more than 0.14 inch (3.55 mm) into the side-mounting holes.

Caution. Do not overtighten the screws or use metric screws. This

!

may damage the drive.

Configuring the BIOS

For your computer to recognize your new drive, configure your
computer’s BIOS as follows:

1. Run the system setup program.

2. Enable LBA mode and UDMA mode, if available.

3. Select the auto-detect option. If this is not available, select “User-

defined drive type” and enter the CHS (cylinder, head, sectors)
parameters for your drive from the table listed below. The CHS
addressing supports capacities up to 8.4 Gbytes only. To access the
full capacity of the drive, use LBA mode.

4. Save and exit the system setup program.

Preparing the Drive with Disk Manager

Installing a Single Drive

If you are installing a single drive, we recommend using Disk Manager
to automatically partition and format your drive. This software is stored
on the CD provided with your drive. To r un Disk Manager:

1. Boot your computer from your Windows 98 or 95 startup diskette.

2. Insert the DiscWizard CD and change to the drive letter of your CD-

ROM.

3. At the prompt, type dm. Then press

ENTER. Disk Manager guides

you through the installation process.

4. Proceed to the section on “Loading the Operating System.”

Installing a Slave Drive

If you are installing a second drive, or slave, to your system, use the
DiscWizard software provided with your drive.

Note. If you

do not

want to install your drive using Disk Manager,
see “Standard DOS installation” below to partition and format
your drive.

Standard DOS Installation

Caution. Partitioning or formatting a drive erases all data on it.

!

Seagate assumes no liability if you erase your data.

Drive Partitioning

Partitioning divides the drive into sections or partitions that function as
separate logical drives (labeled C,D,E, etc.). To partition your new drive:

1. Insert a bootable DOS diskette and restart your computer.

2. Type fdisk and press

ENTER. If you have two drives installed,

select your new drive from option five of the FDISK menu.

3. Select “Create DOS partition or logical DOS drive” by pressing 1.
Then press

ENTER.

4. Select “Create Primary DOS partition” by pressing 1 again. Create
your first drive partition. To make the par tition bootable, mark the
partition as

active.

5. Ver ify that all space on your new drive has been partitioned. If neces­sary, create an extended par tition with additional logical dr ives.

Drive Formatting

Caution. Use the correct drive letters to prevent formatting a drive

that already contains data.

ROM drive. Continue with the Windows setup instructions.

Troubleshooting

If your drive is not working properly, follow these troubleshooting steps.

1. Does the drive spin up? A spinning drive produces a faint whine
and clicking noise that begins when power is applied. If your drive
does not spin, check that the power connector and interface cable
are securely attached and the jumpers are installed correctly.

2. Does the computer recognize the drive? Verify that the drive is
enabled in the system CMOS or setup program. If not, select the
autodetect option and enable it. If your drive has a problem, it may not
be recognized by the system.

3. Does FDISK detect the drive? Run the FDISK program located on
your Windows startup diskette. Type fdisk/status to verify that
your hard drive is present.

4. Does Scandisk find the drive defect-free? Scandisk is a utility
located on your Windows startup diskette that scans the drive for de­fects. If defects are detected, this may be an indication of a problem.

5. Why won’t the drive format to full capacity? Verify that your BIOS
has autodetect and LBA mode enabled. Otherwise you may need to
use Disk Manager to achieve the full capacity of your drive. Download
the latest version from www.seagate.com or find it on your CD.

6. The computer hangs on startup. Use the alternate capacity jumper if
your computer does not support higher capacity drives. The jumper limits
the 40-Gbyte drive capacity to 33.8 Gbytes and limits drives with
capacities of 30 Gbytes or less to 2.1 Gbytes. To reach full capacity,
refer to heading 5.

Note. If the above steps do not solve the problem, contact your

dealer or visit www.seagate.com to download SeaTools disc
diagnostics software and for more troubleshooting advice.
