Installing the hard disk
Note
Your drive has already been set up in the factory (1 partition in the FAT32
format). It will not be necessary to reformat or repartition it.
Caution!
Partitioning or formatting a disk drive deletes data. We assume no re-
sponsibility for lost data.
Before you install your hard disk ...
We would like to remind you once again that when installing the new hard disk
some programs 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 programs
Use the Windows Disk Management Tool help program in order to install the
hard disk with Windows® Vista/XP/7. You can find the program in the computer
management.
You must have administration rights to install a hard disk with some operating
systems.
Look under help in Windows for detailed information on using this program.
Partitioning the drive
Partitioning a drive divides the space into different areas that can be accessed as
separate logical drives (with letters C:, D:, E:, etc.). Read your PC operating system
manual to find out how to partition hard drives.
