Installing the hard disk
Note
Your drive has already been set up in the factory. It will

to reformat or repartition it.
Caution!
Partitioning or formatting a disk drive deletes data. We assume
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 programs are used that could cause your data to be irreversibly lost if used
incorrectly.
Make a backup of all your data and check that the recovery procedure
works.
Partitioning programs

disk.
