Formatting the Hard Drive 21

This new drive is now ready to use, and you do not need to

complete any further steps.

Boot drive install: When MaxBlast is ﬁnished copying data

to your new boot drive, remove any CDs or ﬂoppies, and

perform a normal shutdown.

Continue to the next step.

Unplug the ATA cable from both the new and old drives.

Check the jumper settings on both drives to make sure they are set

to cable select.

If you are using Windows 2000 or XP, see “Using a Drive

Larger than 137 GB” on page 22 to avoid potential data loss.

Failure to install the correct service pack and the EnableBigLBA

registry patch will cause data loss when accessing the drive

beyond 137 GB.

Power the system on.

At the Windows desktop, double-click the

My Computer icon.

The newly installed boot drive will appear as

drive letter C. The old hard drive can now be used for additional

storage.

To look up the jumper settings for

Maxtor hard drives, see “Figure 6

Jumper Block Positions” on page 7.

For other manufacturers’ hard drives,

use the Hard Disk Information feature

of the MaxBlast software or visit the

manufacturer’s web site.
