240 MB IDE Smartdrive (25-4126)   INITIALIZATION        Faxback Doc. # 2170

Initialization Information:

After you have installed the drive you must run the computer Setup utility 
to specify the drive type. If your setup utility supports auto configur-
ation, select Auto to read the parameters. If your setup utility does not
supports auto configuration select Any (Non-Standard type) or Other as the
drive type

After you select Non-Standard, enter the following information:

    Cylinders           723
    Heads                13
    Sectors per Track    51
    Landing Zone        722

Before you can use this hard drive, you must initialize it by creating one 
or more partitions. Then, you must format each partition of the drive to 
prepare it to store and access the operating system and other files.

Note: The SmartDrive has been low-level formatted at the factory. Do not 
low-level format "HSECT" the drive. HSECT may destroy the drive.

Follow these steps to initialize the SmartDrive if you are using MS-DOS:

1. For MS-DOS version 3.3 or earlier: After you start up the system from 
   MS-DOS operating system diskettes, use the fdisk command to partition the
   hard drive. (If you are using another operating system, refer to your 
   operating system documentation for information about formatting disks.) 
   Hard disks that have capacities greater than 32MB must include at least
   two partitions (usually C and D) to store data above the 32MB boundary.
   The exception to this is if you are running MS-DOS 5.0.

2. Use the format command to format each partition. Format the active 
   partition with the /s switch (format c:/s) to copy the MS-DOS system
   files to the partition and make it bootable.

3. Use the Copy command to copy the remaining files from:

    Operating System Diskette(s)
    Utilities Diskette(s)

4. Remove the diskette from Drive A and reset the computer to start up from
   the hard drive.

Refer to your MS-DOS documentation for specific information about the fdisk,
format, and copy commands.
