5. If you installed a hard disk drive with its controller on an

option card, did you disable the built-in hard disk drive

controller and select the correct drive type through SETUP?

See Chapter 2 of the 

for instructions.

Before you can store data on a new hard disk (which has

already been physically formatted), you must do the following

to prepare it for use:

1. Run the SETUP program to define your hard disk as part

of the computer’s configuration. (See Chapter 2 of the

for instructions.)

Partition and format the drive for the operating system you

are using. If you are using MS-DOS, instructions for

performing these procedures and installing the operating

system are provided in your MS-DOS manuals. If you are

using another operating system, follow the instructions that

came with it.

If you do not prepare the drive correctly, you will not be able to

store data on the disk. For example, if you have partitioned the

drive and formatted it for MS-DOS (or for another operating

system) but you do not copy the operating system to the drive,

you will not be able to load the operating system from the hard

disk 

you turn on the computer.

If you are sure the hard disk has been installed properly and

you have prepared it for use as described above but you cannot

access the drive, review the instructions in your operating

system manuals. Make sure you performed 

step in the

installation process correctly for your configuration.

If you cannot identify the problem, 

your dealer.
