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 already have a bootable hard drive in your computer and you are running Windows 98 or Windows 95.

For customized step-by-step instructions for your system, run DiscWizard

before

installing your drive.

To run DiscWizard:

• Select Run from the Windows Start menu and type

the drive letter of your diskette or 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 66 (max length: 18 inches)

an 80-conductor cable to run

• An unused drive power cable for your new drive

Ultra ATA/66 Requirements

The drive can support transfer rates up to 66 Mbytes per second (UDMA 4) in Ultra ATA/66 mode. For your drive to run in this mode, you need the following:

• A computer that supports UDMA modes 3 and 4

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

• A software utility to confirm and activate Ultra ATA/66. Seagate

a utility called UATA66.exe that is included on your CD, or you can download it from our Web site at www.seagate.com.

• The Windows 98 operating system

Handling Precautions

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

ready to install it. This will minimize handling damage. The drive is enclosed in a black, flexible cover called a SeaShield®.

Do not remove 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.

provides

• 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. To enable this option, configure the master drive with a jumper set on pins 5 and 6 and pins 7 and 8.

• Cable-select: 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.

Attaching Cables and Mounting the Drive

1. Attach one end of the drive interface cable to the interface connector on your computer’s motherboard (see your computer manual for connector locations).

Caution. Align pin 1 on the motherboard connector with pin 1 on

your drive connector. Pin 1 is mar ked by a stripe on one side of the cable.

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 diskette or CD provided with your drive. To r un Disk Manager:

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

2. Insert your DiscWizard diskette or CD. If you are using the CD,

change to the drive letter of your CD-ROM.

3. At the prompt, type dm. Then press ENTER. Disk Manager will guide 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 partition bootable, mark the partition as

active.

5. Verify that all space on your new drive has been partitioned. If necessary, create an extended partition with additional logical drives.

Drive Formatting

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

that already contains data.

At the A: prompt, type format x:/s. where partition. Repeat the format process for all new partitions. Proceed to “Loading the Operating System” below.

is the letter of your first new

Loading the Operating System

1. Boot your computer from your Windows 98 or 95 startup diskette with the Windows CD loaded.

2. At the prompt, type x:\setup, where x is the drive letter of your CD-

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, located on your diskette or CD, to achieve the full capacity of your drive.

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 more troubleshooting advice.
