your operating system’s installation instructions, and install all necessary drivers
and utilities (as outlined in “Drivers & Utilities” on page 4 - 1), when setting up a
new hard disk.

fore you begin make sure:
You have backed up any

If you have access to the in-
ternet, download the latest

driver updates for the oper-
ating system you plan to in-
stall. Copy these to a
