Hard Drive Preperation

Before you start, make sure you have at hand everything you may need to perform the installation.

This’ll include a Phillips screwdriver, an antistatic wriststrap, pair of tweezers, a couple of jumper shunts and some drive bay screws.

Tools

You’ll also need an emergency MS-DOS startup floppy disk and, depending on lighting conditions, a small flashlight might prove handy.

If you don’t already have one, create an emergency MS-DOS startup disk as follows:

For Windows 98:

  • Click Start > Settings > Control Panel
  • Select the Startup Disk tab
  • Insert a blank floppy disk into your computer’s floppy drive
  • Click Create Disk.

For Windows XP:

  • Open My Computer
  • Click the floppy disk drive to select it
  • On the File menu, point to the name of the floppy drive
  • Click Format
  • Under Format options, click Create an MS-DOS startup disk
  • Insert a blank floppy disk into your computer’s floppy drive
  • Click Start.
