Page 5: Hard Disk Drive Handling Guide
Before you begin, please read the following on handling your disk drive: HARD DISK DRIVE HANDLING GUIDE These notes are designed to provide a simple overview of the need to be cautious when handling a disk drive. Disk drives can be easily damaged either by electrical static shock or by rough handling. In order to minimize the risks it is essential that any disk drive be handled on a cushioned surface (which is electrostatically safe). -

Second drive - Slave setting Use this setting if you want to retain your old drive as the boot drive and have the new drive available for program and data storage. Put the jumper on pins A-B & C-D. Cable Select - This setting should be used if your system uses special “cable select”... - Page 9 Interface Connector Some BIOSs have a limitation when translating the Cylinder, Head, and Sector information resulting in an inability to correctly detect the larger capacity drives. Most systems don’t have this limitation but if your BIOS is reporting the capacity incorrectly, use the 15 logical head settings rather than the 16 logical heads. Settings are shown below.

Make a selection and return to the main menu. Click on “Standard CMOS Setup”. You will see that the BIOS recognizes only 8455 MB and will need to use Ontrack® Disk Manager for the entire 16 GB to be recognized. (Go back to Easy Installation.)

Page 19: Formatting
Note that the Maximum Capacity shows only 3099 MB instead of 3240 MB. This is because some system BIOSs recognize a Megabyte as 1,048,576 bytes (binary). Drive manufacturers recognize a Megabyte as 1,000,000 bytes (decimal). The capacities are the same in actual number of bytes. After creating the Extended DOS Partition assign a drive letter to that partition. -
