INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Maxtor, in conjunction with Ontrack Computer Systems, has created
a quick and easy process for installing your Maxtor 3.5 Inch IDE/AT Hard Drive
(hard disk) under DOS or DOS with Windows.  Please take a moment to review the
following steps.

STEP 1
If you have not installed your Maxtor Hard Drive into your computer, please
stop and refer to your Maxtor Hard Drive Installation Guide.

STEP 2
Insert your PC-DOS or MS-DOS diskette into your floppy drive and turn on your
computer.  If your Maxtor Hard Drive is going to be the secondary drive in the
system, you may skip using the diskette and just turn on the system, allowing
it to boot from your existing hard drive.  Note that DOS versions 3.3 and
higher are supported.

STEP 3
If you booted from your DOS diskette, remove this diskette and insert the
Disk Manager Hard Disk Installation Software diskette provided in this package.
If you booted from your existing hard drive, insert the Disk Manager diskette
and type A: and press enter.

STEP 4
Type DM and press enter to start Disk Manager.  Disk Manager will
automatically load a few programs and check your system configuration.
If Disk Manager is unable to locate the hard drive, there may be a problem
with the cable connections completed when the hard drive was installed in the
computer.

STEP 5
Disk Manager has an extensive on-line help facility.  If at any point during
the installation you do not understand your choices you may press the F1 key
for more information.

STEP 6
The first selection on the main menu, "Automatic Disk Installation", will be
highlighted.  Press enter to choose this selection.

STEP 7
Disk Manager will show you how many hard drives were found in your system.  
Confirm the selection (if correct) by pressing enter.  If Disk Manager has
detected the wrong number of hard drives, there may be a problem with the
cable connections completed when the hard drive was installed in the computer.  

STEP 8
The types of hard drives displayed on your screen should show the exact
configuration Disk Manager found in your system.  Use the arrow keys to move
the highlighted bar over the description of your Maxtor Hard Drive and press
enter.

CAUTION:  Be very careful to make the correct selection on this step.
If at any point Disk Manager warns you that existing data or partitions have
been found on your hard drive, press the Esc key to back up to this menu
and verify again that you selected the correct hard drive to install.

STEP 9
Disk Manager will automatically set up the correct drive type in your
computer and choose the best selection of partitions to maximize the space
available for DOS.  At this point, it will automatically perform the necessary
tasks to complete the installation and let you know when the process is
complete.

STEP 10
After Disk Manager has completed the installation, turn off and unplug the
computer.  Replace the computer cover, plug in and turn on the computer.  
The installation of your Maxtor Hard Drive is complete.
