DiscWizard
is a revolutionary new Windows program that
makes it easy to install your Seagate Medalist
®
drive.
DiscWizard helps you configure your new drive and your com-
puter. It analyzes your system, lets you select various installa-
tion options and creates customized step-by-step instructions.
It also allows older computers to access the full capacity of
large hard drives.
You can run DiscWizard to install your new hard drive if:
• You already have an existing, bootable hard drive in your
computer with at least 3 Mbytes of available disc space
and
• You are running Windows 3.
x or Windows 95.
If you can run DiscWizard, you do not have to read this
manual. Instead,
before you install your new drive, follow the
instructions on the DiscWizard diskette to install your drive.
DiscWizard provides all the information you need to install your
new drive.
If you cannot run DiscWizard, follow the instructions in this
installation guide to install and configure your new drive. For
additional information and troubleshooting tips, see the back of
this sheet. This symbol:

tion on a topic appears on the back of this sheet.

1 If you are installing a new ATA interface cable, attach one
end of the cable to the interface connector on your com-
puter or host adapter. The ATA cable must be no more than
18 inches long.
2 Thread the interface cable through the drive bay and attach
the connector at the end of the interface cable to your new
drive. If you have two drives, attach the second drive to
the second connector.
!
Caution. Make sure to align pin 1 on the com-
puter or host adapter interface connector with
pin 1 on your drive or drives. Pin 1 on the
interface cable is usually indicated by a stripe
along the edge of the cable.

If your new Seagate
®
drive will be the only drive in your com-
puter, you do not have to change any jumper settings. In this
case, skip ahead to “Attaching Cables and Mounting the Drive.”
If you already have one hard drive in your computer and you
are installing a second drive, you must configure one drive as a
master and the other as a slave. The master drive will be the
“boot” drive (drive C), from which the computer loads system
software when it first starts up. To configure your new Seagate
drive as the master, slide a jumper onto pins 7 and 8 (see be-
low). To configure the drive as a slave, remove all jumpers. If
you need to change the jumpers on your existing hard drive,
see the Disk Manager online manual, or contact the drive manu-
facturer.
