- the partitions on the secondary drive. Refer to the following instructions for
- information about entering the System Setup program.
-
- [DISASSEMBLY]
- RUNNING THE SYSTEM SETUP PROGRAM
-
- NOTE: Some BIOSes will not allow you to change the settings for your new drive
- until after it is installed. If your system does not allow you to configure
- settings until after your drive is installed, refer to this section after you
- have installed your drive.
-
- ( ) Enter system setup (CMOS).
-
- * Reboot your computer.

-
- Note: Cable Select is an alternate method to using the Master/Slave jumpers for
- identifying the Master or Slave device on ATA/ATAPI systems. If there are
- two devices on an ATA channel/cable, both devices must use either Cable Select
- or Master/Slave settings. The instructions below describe using the
- Master/Slave jumpers, however, you can use Cable Select if you so desire.
-
- ( ) Set the jumpers on the new drive for the following position:
-
- [ADDTOCOPYTABLE]
-
- New Drive: %s
- Position: %s
- Configuration: %s
-
- [POSTADDTOCOPY]

- [SYSTEMLOCKUP1]
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- TROUBLESHOOTING
-
- Full Capacity Limitations
-
- If you have added a new drive and your system fails to detect the full capacity
- of the drive there are several possible causes. For ATA drives less than 137GB,
- most often this is caused by a BIOS limitation. You can investigate updating
- your BIOS with utilities provided by your system manufacturer, or you can let
- DiscWizard add boot sector software that does the same thing. If your ATA drive
- is greater than 137GB then your operating system may also have a fundamental
- limitation. Windows XP Service Pack 1 or Windows 2000 Service Pack 3 or higher
- are required to support ATA and Serial ATA drives larger than 137GB. For a
- complete discussion of this subject with solutions for other versions of Windows,
- see the Seagate FAQ "Why can't I see the full capacity of my drive?" at
- http://www.seagate.com/support/kb/disc/capacity/index.html.
-
-
- System Lockup Information
-
- If you have added a new drive and your system locks up at boot time (right
- after turning the power on), or locks up during System Setup, there are several
- possible causes.
-
- If using parallel ATA, verify that the 40-pin ribbon cable is properly attached,
- making sure that pin 1 on the cable matches pin 1 on the drive.
-
- [SYSTEMLOCKUP9X]
- Next, if your new drive is larger than 33.8GB, you may have an Award 4.51 BIOS
- with a 33.8GB limitation that causes the system to hang during the Power On
- Self Test (POST).
-
- The best solution is to obtain a BIOS upgrade from your computer manufacturer
- to support drives greater than 33.8GB.
-
- Another solution for this 33.8GB limitation is to use the DiscWizard
- utility to issue a command to the drive that will make it report a size of 33.8GB
- or less. This will alleviate the hang during POST and allow the system to boot.
- Using this method, DiscWizard will still be able to install the drive to the
- full capacity using the Dynamic Drive Overlay.
-
- To implement this solution, use the following instructions.
- 1. Restart your computer and enter the System Setup program. Change the
- setting for your new drive to "NONE". Save the settings, exit the System
- Setup program and power down your computer.
- 2. Insert your DiscWizard bootable diskette and power up your computer.
- 3. From the main menu, select Utilities.
- 4. Select the "Set Drive Size" utility. Then your new drive.
- 5. Follow the on-screen instructions to set the drive size.
- 6. When you are finished setting the drive size, reboot your computer. Enter
- the System Setup program and set the drive type to "AUTO". Save the
- settings and exit the System Setup program.
-
- After following the instructions, restart your system with the
- DiscWizard Diskette.
-
- [SYSTEMLOCKUP2]
- If your new drive is over 32GB, and other solutions have not worked, your
- drive may provide an Alternate Capacity (AC) jumper that will lock the drives
- LBA size to approximately 32 GB - allowing it to be used on systems that do
- not support it (such as those having the Award BIOS 4.51 problem). Follow the
- procedure below titled "For drives WITH an alternate capacity (AC) option
- jumper" to lock the drive size to approximately 32GB. (Note if the AC jumper
- is used on a drive over 32GB, Ontrack's DDO will not see more than the AC
- jumper forced size of approximately 32GB).
-
- If your new drive is between 2.1Gb and 32GB, and your System Setup (CMOS) is
- set to "AUTO", you may have a BIOS with a 4096-cylinder limitation that hangs
- the system during auto-detection. Your computer manufacturer may have a BIOS
- upgrade that will support more than 4096 cylinders. To continue with this
- installation, your drive may provide an alternate capacity (AC) jumper setting
- that lowers the cylinder auto-detection to below the BIOS limitation barrier
- and still provide full drive capacity using your hard disk installation
- utility.
-
- In this case, power off your system and install your drive's AC jumper, or
- remove your new drive and go to the beginning of these instructions and follow
- each step.
-
- For drives WITH an alternate capacity (AC) option jumper:
-
- 1. Install the AC jumper per drive label instructions.
- 2. Set the CMOS drive type using ONE of the following methods listed in
- preferred order:
- a. Select "Automatic Drive Detection". This allows your computer to
- configure itself automatically for your new drive.
- b. Select "User-defined" or "Custom" drive setting and set to the following:
- 1024 cylinders
- 16 heads
- 63 sectors
- 0 write precomp (wp)
- 0 landing zone (lz)
- c. Select Drive Type 1.
-
- For drives WITHOUT an alternate capacity (AC) option jumper, choose option b)
- or c) in step 2 above.
-
- [MOUNTDRIVE]
- INSTRUCTIONS FOR MOUNTING THE DRIVE
-
- ( ) Mount the drive.
-
- 1. Mount the drive in either the horizontal or the vertical position. Use only
- 6-32 UNC typical computer mounting screws.
- 2. Slide the drive into the bay.
- 3. Align the drive-bay screw holes with the threaded holes in the drive
- housing or expansion brackets. Hand thread the screws to lightly secure the
- drive in the bay. For some installations, you might have to use the screw
- holes on the bottom (circuit board side) of the drive.
- 4. Check the drive alignment and tighten the screws firmly. DO NOT over
- tighten.
- NOTE: If you need to attach the drive in a 5.25-inch bay, attach a pair of
- 3.5-inch to 5.25-inch expansion. Some computers require that you attach special
- hard-disk-drive mounting hardware to ensure that the drive mounts securely into
- the bay. Contact your computer dealer or refer to the documentation that comes
- with your computer if you need specialized mounting hardware or more information.
-
- [ATTACHCABLE]
- INSTRUCTIONS FOR ATTACHING CABLES TO THE DRIVE
-
- ( ) Attach the cables to your new drive.
-
- 1. If using the 40-pin/80-conductor Ultra-ATA cable, attach the blue end
- connector to the system board or host controller, the grey middle
- connector to the Slave, and the black end connector to the Master. If
- using the standard 40-pin cable a single drive should be connected to the
- end connector; otherwise, the Master goes in the middle connector and the
- Slave goes in the end connector.
- 2. Be sure that pin 1, the colored wire on the interface cable, is closest to
- the DC power connector.
- 3. Find an unused power connector on a cable coming from the computer power
- supply and attach it to the four-pin DC power connector. The power
- connector is keyed so that it attaches one way only. DO NOT force it. If
- the connector does not attach using reasonable pressure, turn it and try
- again.
- 4. Verify that the cables do not interfere with the computer cover and do not
- block the power-supply fan blades or air-flow paths.
-
- NOTE: If all power cables are in use, purchase a DC Y-connector (available at
- many electronic stores) and split a connection to provide power for more
- devices.
-
- [ATTACHCABLE_SATA]
- INSTRUCTIONS FOR ATTACHING CABLES TO THE DRIVE
-
- ( ) Attach the cables to your new drive.
-
- 1. Attach the Serial Data cable to the drive. Attach the other end of the cable
- to the system board or host controller. Both ends of the data cable are keyed
- so that they attach one way only. DO NOT force it. Both ends of the Serial
- ATA cable are the same.
- 2. Some systems allow for Serial ATA drives to be powered using a 3.3V connection
- on the system board. For more information on this type of connection, please
- consult your system board manual. Otherwise, find an unused power connector
- on a cable coming from the computer power supply and attach it to the DC power
- connector on the drive, an adapter may be necessary. The power
- connector is keyed so that it attaches one way only. DO NOT force it. If
- the connector does not attach using reasonable pressure, turn it and try
- again.
- 3. Verify that the cables do not interfere with the computer cover and do not
- block the power-supply fan blades or air-flow paths.
-
- NOTE: If all power cables are in use, purchase a DC Y-connector (available at
