disks installed in your computer labeled as C:, D:, E:, and F:, you can adjust the
boot sequence so that an operating system is booted from, for example, disk E:. In

this case, you have to set the boot sequence to look like E:, CD-ROM:, A:, C:, D:.
This does not mean that booting is done from the first disk in this list; it only means that
the first attempt to boot an operating system is to boot it from this disk. There may be no
operating system on disk E:, or it may be inactive. In this case, BIOS queries the next drive
in the list. Errors can happen during booting, see B.2.4 "
".
The BIOS numbers disks according to the order in which they are connected to IDE
controllers (primary master, primary slave, secondary master, secondary slave);
next go the SCSI hard disks.
This order is broken if you change the boot sequence in BIOS setup. If, for
example, you specify that booting has to be done from hard disk E:, numbering
starts with the hard disk that would be the third in usual circumstances (it is usually
the secondary master).
After you have installed the hard disk in your computer and have configured it in
BIOS, one can say that the PC (or the motherboard) "knows" about its existence
and its main parameters. However, it is still not enough for an operating system to
work with the hard disk. In addition, you have to create partitions on the new disk
and format the partitions using Seagate BlackArmor Backup. See

Hard disk initialization errors
Devices are usually initialized successfully, but sometimes errors can happen.
Typical errors related to hard disks are reported by the following messages:
Typical errors related to hard disks are reported by the following messages:
PRESS A KEY TO REBOOT
This error message is not directly related to errors during hard disk initialization.
However, it appears, for example, when the boot program finds no operating
system on the hard disk, or when the primary partition of the hard disk is not set as
active.
