Installation of Your
Quantum ATA Hard Disk Drive
For PC Compatible Systems Running DOS/Windows
v1.70
QUANTUM CORPORATION
Tools Required
Before beginning the installation you will need:
(1) A formatted, bootable floppy diskette. Note: If you are unable to boot from this bootable floppy
diskette, your system CMOS (BIOS) floppy-boot-sequence setting may require a change (from C,
A to A, C) in order for your computer to boot to the A:\ prompt. If you intend to use your CDROM to
install your operating system once your hard drive is installed, you may wish to add the required
CDROM driver and a CONFIG.SYS file to this floppy disk before beginning the installation. This is
true for DOS or Windows 95. The bootable Windows 98 Startup Disk already provides this
CDROM Support.
(2) If you are installing your hard drive on a system that is several years old, you may require one
additional tool, a copy of the Ontrack Disk Manager software utility. This program may be
downloaded free of charge from Quantum's Web Site at http://www.quantum.com. The Ontrack
Disk Manager software need only be used on older systems lacking sufficient BIOS support for
large capacity ATA hard drives. These older systems will require an "alternative" installation
procedure, which is described below.
