Installing the hard disk
Note
Your drive has already been set up and so it will
not be
necessary
to reformat or repartition it.
Caution!
Partitioning or formatting a disk drive deletes data. We as-
sume no responsibility for lost data.
Before you install your hard disk ...
We would like to remind you once again that when installing the new
hard disk some programmes are used that could cause your data to be
irreversibly lost if used incorrectly.
Note
Make a backup of all your data and check that the recovery
procedure works.
Partitioning programmes
With Windows
®
XP use the
disk management
help program in order
to install the hard disk. You can find the program in the
computer
management section of control panel
.
With some operating systems you must have administration rights to
install a hard disk.
With Windows
®
ME the hard disk is installed with the DOS program
FDISK. Look under help in Windows for detailed information on using
this program.
Partitioning the drive
Partitioning a drive divides the space into different areas which can be
accessed as separate logic drives (with letters C:, D:, E: etc.). Read the
manual of your operating system to find out how to partition hard
drives with your particular system.
