Western Digital (250-0104) Software Installation Faxback Doc. # 3173 Hard Disk Upgrade Kit CAUTION: Installing this software on a hard drive that already contains software and data will result in the erasure of all software and data on that hard drive. Installation procedure: Most computer systems provide a CMOS setup program that allows you to access information regarding your system configuration. This information must be modified to include the exact parameters of your new Western Digital hard drive. Follow these steps to use the CMOS setup program provided with your computer system. 1. Insert a bootable DOS system diskette into drive A: and turn your system on. If you are installing your new Western Digital hard drive as the slave drive (D:), boot your system from the C: drive. 2. Go to your CMOS setup screen. Refer to your system manual for instructions. If you have an existing drive, write down the hard drive type and parameters (cylinders/heads/sectors) for the existing drive. Do not change the hard drive parameters of your existing hard drive. 3. Some systems setup programs offer a "User Defined" or "Auto Config" hard drive type. The User Defined hard drive type allows you to define the hard drive parameters, while the Auto Config drive type automatically sets up the hard drive parameters by interrogating the Western Digital hard drive directly. SELECTING HARD DRIVE PARAMETERS Select the Hard Disk Type option for the new Western Digital hard drive. If "Auto Config" is listed, choose it; if not, then choose "User Defined." If neither of those are listed, choose "Type 01." If you selected "User Defined", enter the cylinders, heads and sectors as shown below. 2100 Cylinders 16 Heads 63 Sectors/Tracks 0 Landing Zone/precomp NOTE: Western Digital and CHKDSK define a megabyte as 1,000,000 bytes. CMOS setup and some utility software programs define a megabyte as 1,048,576 bytes. After selecting the correct drive parameters, save the changes, exit the SETUP program, and restart the computer.
