Configuring the BIOS
Close your computer case and restart your computer. Your computer may
automatically detect your new drive. If your computer does not automati-
cally detect your new drive, follow the steps below.
1.
Restart your computer. While the computer restarts, run the system
setup program (sometimes called BIOS or CMOS setup). This is usu-
ally done by pressing a special key, such as DELETE, ESC, or F1 dur-
ing the startup process.
2.
Within the system setup program, instruct the system to auto detect
your new drive.
3.
Save the settings and exit the setup program.
When your computer restarts, it should recognize your new drive. If your
system still doesn’t recognize your new drive, see the troubleshooting sec-
tion on the back of this sheet.
Note.
Serial ATA is a new interface type. Some older systems may see the
drive and classify it as a SCSI device if you are using a Serial ATA
host adapter. This is normal even though this is not a SCSI disc
drive. This does not affect drive performance or capacity.

Troubleshooting
If your drive is not working properly, these troubleshooting tips may help
solve the problem.
1.
Does the drive spin up?
A spinning drive produces a faint whine and
clicking noise. If your drive does not spin, check that the power con-
nector and interface cable are securely attached.
2.
Does the computer recognize the drive?
Verify that the drive is
enabled in the system CMOS or setup program. If not, select the auto-
detect option and enable it. If your drive has a problem, it may not be
recognized by the system. If the operating system does not recognize
the drive, you need to load your host adapter drivers.
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 and recognized by the system.
4.
I’m running Windows 98 and FDISK is not reporting the full
capacity of my drive. Why?
You need to upgrade your version of
FDISK if you are using the diskettes or CD that came with your original
Windows 95 or 98 operating system. Microsoft provides a free down-
loadable FDISK upgrade. See Microsoft Knowledgebase article num-
ber: 263044 located at http://support.microsoft.com.
5.
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.
6.
Why does my computer hang on startup?
Verify that your system is
Serial ATA compatible. You need either a Serial ATA 1.0-compatible
motherboard connector or Serial ATA host adapter to use this drive.
Note.
