* Drive-specific values for drive capacity, cylinders,
read/write heads and sectors per track are listed in the

If you are not sure which drive type to select, try running
the FINDTYPE.EXE utility program. This program is avail-
able from Seagate’s Technical Support services (on the
SeaBOARD computer bulletin board).
Caution. Write down the drive type that you have selected and
any drive specifications that you have entered (use the
Notes page at the end of this manual). Keep this
information in a safe place. You will need it to retrieve
data from the drive if your CMOS battery fails.
Formatting and partitioning the drive
Caution. Formatting or partitioning a drive that contains data
destroys that data. Make sure all data has been safely
backed up before repartitioning or reformatting a drive.
Seagate Technology assumes no liability for lost data.
