may require use of unique hardware (such as mounting
trays, connecting cable, insulating material). If you are
uncertain if hardware is needed, consult your notebook
manufacturer as this operation may require a qualified
technician.

4. Partition and format

Partition and format the drive using either of these two
methods:

 Disk Manager 2000

i. Boot the Disk Manager 2000 installation utility
ii. If the Disk Manager 2000 configuration

matches your new system configuration, con­tinue to the next step. If the system configura­tion is not a match or if you want to proceed
manually, select no. Then verify the BIOS set­tings, cabling, and jumpers. Run
Disk Manager 2000 again.

iii. Disk Manager 2000 determines available parti-

tion sizes based on the operating system to be
installed. Select the partition sizes for your
installation.

iv. Click “Finish” to complete the partitioning and

formatting of your drive.

 FDISK.EXE and FORMAT.EXE (or similar partitioning

software from the operating system)
Follow the instructions provided with your operating

system to partition the drive. If FDISK.EXE recog­nizes only 8.4 GB of a drive larger than 8.4 GB, the
BIOS may not support Interrupt 13 Extensions.

Format the drive by following the instructions pro­vided with FORMAT.EXE. Formatting will verify the
hard disk media and create file allocation tables for
the partition.

5. Boot up the computer

If the system does not boot up after the installation of the
drive, check all the settings. If the system still fails to
boot up, contact the IBM Technology Group Support
Center.
