440 MB SCSI Hard Drive (250-4167)   Initialization     Faxback Doc. # 5133

After you install the SCSI drive, run the setup utility for your computer.
Select SCSI or NONE as the drive type.

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: Low-level formatting of the drive is not necessary. The drive was
low-level formatted at the factory.

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. Hard disks that have
   capacities greater than 32 MEG must include at least two partitions
   (usually C and D) to store data above the 32MB boundary.

   For MS-DOS version 5.0 or 6.0:

   After you start up the system from the MS-DOS operating system diskette,
   exit the install procedure and use the fdisk command to partition the
   hard drive. MS-DOS 5.0 and 6.0 have the ability to create a partition 
   larger than 32 MEG.

Note: If you are using another operating system, refer to your operating
system documentation for information about formatting disks.

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. For MS-DOS 3.3 or earlier:

   Use the Copy command to copy the remaining files from:

    Operating System Diskette(s)
    Utilities Diskette(s)

   For MS-DOS 5.0 or 6.0:

   Reboot the computer and follow the instructions of the automatic install
   procedure included with the MS-DOS 5.0 and 6.0.

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.
