Getting Prepared

Time to complete: about 30-60 minutes. You should undertake the following procedures only if your situation meets the following assumptions and important considerations.

Assumptions

For new hard disks, it is assumed that you have taken care of the following issues before proceeding:

  • You have physically installed it in the computer. That is, the hard disk is screwed into position, and the power and data cables are connected.

  • The computer recognizes the hard disk. The two common types of hard disks are IDE (integrated drive electronics) and SCSI (small computer system interface). If the drive is SCSI, the SCSI adapter card will take care of identi-fying the hard disk. If it is IDE, you must make sure the computer's CMOS (complementary metal oxide semiconductor) is set to recognize the disk.

    If you have the option to "auto detect," you can initially try selecting that option. However, check your hardware documentation first; there are many differences among BIOS (basic input/output system) manufacturers and revisions.

    Important: Physically installing the disk and preparing it for use are not recommended for inexperienced users. If you are not familiar with the technical issues related to doing so, it is recommended that you contact a computer hardware service organization to accomplish this work.

  • You have created a Windows Startup disk for starting the computer and making the new hard disk usable. It is also assumed that you have tested your computer to ensure you can start it from the Windows Startup disk. This disk is also called the emergency boot disk (EBD). If you do not have a Windows Startup disk, follow the instructions in "Create a Windows Startup Disk" later in this appendix.
