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 XP use the disk management help program in order to install the hard disk. You can find the
program in the computer management section of 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 particu-
lar system.
