Do not drop or bump the drive.
Keep the drive in the protective anti-static container until ready to install.
Protect the drive from static discharge by wearing a grounded wrist strap. Attach the wrist strap to the metal chassis of your computer.
Handle the drive by the edges of the frame.
Do not apply pressure or attach labels to the circuit board or the top cover of the drive.
Turn off the power to the host system before installation.
What you need
Phillips screwdriver and four 6-32 UNC drive mounting screws.
Standard 40-pin ATA interface cable, or an 80-conductor cable if running UATA66/100/133 (max length: 18 inches).
An unused drive power cable for your new drive.
Needle-nose pliers for removing or adding jumpers.
UltraATA 66/100/133 Considerations
If your new drive can support UltraATA 66/100/133 modes and you want to take advantage of these faster transfer rates, you will need the following:
A computer that supports UDMA Modes 3 and 4 (5 for UltraATA100, 6 for UltraATA133).
A 40-pin, 80-conductor cable (available from your dealer). This cable is provided with current UltraATA hard drive retail kits. It can be identified by its having a blue connector to connect to the motherboard, a grey connector to connect to the slave drive, and a black connector to connect to the master drive.
Installation ProceduresSetting the Jumpers
Master or Single Drive - Use this setting if the drive is the only drive on the ATA interface cable.
Drive is Slave - Use this setting if the drive is an additional drive on the cable and the original drive is set as Master.
Master with non-ATA compatible drive (Seagate® drives only) - Use this if the drive is Master to a CD-ROM, tape drive or other non-ATA drive.Note: It is preferred to have the CD-ROM and other non-hard drive products on the secondary ATA channel.
Cable-Select Option (Default) - Use with Ultra ATA cables. This allows the cable to select if the drive is master or slave based on the position on the cable. The Master drive goes on the black connector at the end of the cable, the slave drive connects to the gray connector in the middle and the host adapter connects to the blue connector at the other end of the cable.
Limit Capacity Option/Capacity Limitation Jumper (CLJ) - This option may be required if the system the drive is being installed into does not support the full capacity of the drive. If this jumper is required, your system cannot support a drive this large and can be updated with a PCI controller card.

Attaching Cables and Mounting the Drive
1. Locate a free device connector on the IDE interface cable in your computer.
2. Attach one end of the interface cable to the connector on the system board (see user's manual for locations). Align pin 1 on the cable with pin 1 on the connector. If using the 80-conductor cable, the blue connector should connect to the system board connector. The black connector goes to the Master and the Gray goes to the Slave.
3. Find an unused power connector on a cable coming from the computer power supply and attach it to the 4-pin DC power connector. The power connector is keyed so that it attaches one way only. DO NOT force it.
4. Mount the drive in either the horizontal or vertical position depending on your case orientation.
5. Slide the drive into the bay.
6. Secure the drive using four 6-32 UNC mounting screws. Caution: Do not overtighten the screws. Overtightened screws can damage the drive.
Configure the BIOS
1. Run the system setup program.
2. Enable LBA mode and UDMA mode, if applicable.
3. Select the auto-detect option.
4. Save and exit the system setup program.
Partitioning the drive in Windows XP / Windows 2000 (for systems where this is the 2nd drive in the system).
1. Boot into Windows XP.
2. Open Computer Management and select Disk Management.
3. Initialize the drive.
4. Partition the drive.
5. Format the drive.
6. Assign the drive letter.
7. Initiate changes.
How do I install an additional hard drive using Windows XP Disk Management?
1.Install Secondary drive.
2.Boot into Windows XP.
3.Open Computer Management and select Disk Management.
4.Initialize the drive.
5.Partition the drive.
6.Format the drive.
7.Assign the drive letter.
8.Initiate changes.
Opening Disk Management in XP
· Right click on My Computer.
· Choose Manage (This will open the Computer Management window).
· Choose Disk Management under the Storage category (Refer to Figure 1).
Figure 1 (Click on the image to view a larger image)

When the drive is first seen by Disk management it will not be seen in Windows Explorer. For the drive to been seen in Windows Explorer the drive will need to be configured through disk management. XP will normally see the unpartitioned drive when you open disk management and start the wizard for you.
Note the Unallocated Drive in Figure 2.
At this point XP will normally launch a wizard to walk you through setting up the drive, but it may be necessary to set it up manually. Figure 2 (Click on the image to view a larger image)

The Partition/Conversion Wizard Method
1.Select the drive to partition (The new drive).
2.Select the drive to Convert (Not needed for new drives).
3.A summary screen will tell what the wizard will do if you click on Finish. Confirm that the correct drive is selected.
4.Once you click on Finish, the drive will be initialized and you will be taken to the Partition Wizard. See Figure 3 for details.
Figure 3 (Click on the image to view a larger image)
Manually Initialize If the XP Initialize and Convert Hard Disk Wizard did not automatically open when you opened Disk Management, you will need to perform the following steps to initialize the hard disk drive.
1. Right click the new drive to initialize it (Refer to Figure 4). This prepares the drive to be used with Windows.
2. Once you choose initialize, another window will come up asking you to confirm which drive to initialize. Once a drive is initialized the data on the drive will be erased.

· Choose the correct drive. Windows will usually only display uninitialized drives, but if you have a dual boot system, drives from other operating systems will show up in this list.
· Once you choose OK, the drive will be initialized for use with Windows XP (It still will not be seen by Windows Explorer).

New Partition Wizard Once a drive is initialized for use with XP, you may format and partition the drive. This option is not available for drives that do not have free space or for drives that have not been initialized.
Right-click on the unallocated space, and select New Partition (Refer to Figure 6). Figure 6 (Click on the image to view a larger image)
http://support.seagate.com/kbimg/3361-6Big.gif
· Partition type: Primary – This is the normal selection for drives with less than 4 partitions. Extended – This is used if the drive is split in to 4 or more partitions. The default selection is Primary. Click on Next.
· Specify partition size in Megabytes - Set the size of the partition (The full drive capacity is the default). If you are creating a single partition, leave the default amount. If you are creating multiple partitions, enter the size in megabytes for your first partition. Click on Next.
· Assign the drive letter - This allows you to select the drive letter for this partition. The setup will default to the next available drive letter. You may also assign the drive to another letter that isn't in use if you like. Click on Next.
· Format Partition - The New Partition Wizard will by default be set to format the drive with an NTFS file system, a default unit allocation size, and a volume label of "New Volume". For a faster format, check the Perform a quick format option. Keep in mind that if you choose this option, the format will skip several verification processes. It is recommended that you leave the Enable file and folder compression option unchecked. Click on Next.
· Summary – Allows you one more chance before committing to the changes. If you do not wish to make any changes, click on Finish. (Refer to figures 7 and 8).

Finished Once you have clicked on the Finish button, the New Partition Wizard will close. In a few seconds, the "Unallocated" partition will say "Formatting". When the drive has completed formatting it will display as a healthy drive with the size and type of partition below the volume name and drive letter.
