Installing the hard disk
Note
Your drive has already been set up and so it will not be
necessary to reformat or repartition it.
Caution!
Partitioning or formatting a disk drive deletes data. We assume
no responsibility for lost data.
Before you install your hard disk ...
We would like to remind you once again that when installing the new hard
disk some programmes are used that could cause your data to be
irreversibly lost if used incorrectly.
Note
Make a backup of all your data and check that the recovery
procedure works.
Partitioning programmes
With Windows® Vista/ XP/Windows® 7 use the disk management help
program in order to install the hard disk. You can find the program in the
computer management section of the control panel.
With some operating systems you must have administration rights to install
a hard disk.
With Windows® ME the hard disk is installed with the DOS program FDISK.
Look under help in Windows for detailed information on using this
program.
Partitioning the drive
Partitioning a drive divides the space into different areas which can be
accessed as separate logic drives (with letters C:, D:, E: etc.). Read the
manual of your operating system to find out how to partition hard drives
with your particular system.
