disks installed in your computer labeled as C:, D:, E:, and F:, you can adjust the

boot sequence so that an operating system is booted from, for example, disk E:. In

this case, you have to set the boot sequence to look like E:, CD-ROM:, A:, C:, D:.

This does not mean that booting is done from the first disk in this list; it only means that

the first attempt to boot an operating system is to boot it from this disk. There may be no

operating system on disk E:, or it may be inactive. In this case, BIOS queries the next drive

in the list. Errors can happen during booting, see B.2.4 "

Hard disk initialization errors

The BIOS numbers disks according to the order in which they are connected to IDE

controllers (primary master, primary slave, secondary master, secondary slave);

next go the SCSI hard disks.

This order is broken if you change the boot sequence in BIOS setup. If, for

example, you specify that booting has to be done from hard disk E:, numbering

starts with the hard disk that would be the third in usual circumstances (it is usually

the secondary master).

After you have installed the hard disk in your computer and have configured it in

BIOS, one can say that the PC (or the motherboard) "knows" about its existence

and its main parameters. However, it is still not enough for an operating system to

work with the hard disk. In addition, you have to create partitions on the new disk

and format the partitions using Seagate BlackArmor Backup. See

Chapter 14.

B.2.4 Hard disk initialization errors

Devices are usually initialized successfully, but sometimes errors can happen.

Typical errors related to hard disks are reported by the following messages:

PRESS A KEY TO REBOOT

This error message is not directly related to errors during hard disk initialization.

However, it appears, for example, when the boot program finds no operating

system on the hard disk, or when the primary partition of the hard disk is not set as

active.

DISK BOOT FAILURE,

INSERT SYSTEM DISK AND

PRESS ENTER

This message appears when the boot program finds no available boot device, be it a

floppy or a hard disk, or a CD-ROM.

C: DRIVE ERROR

C: DRIVE FAILURE

ERROR ENCOUNTERED INITIALIZING HARD DRIVE

This message appears when it is not possible to access the C: disk. If the disk is

known to be functional, the reason for this error message is probably incorrect

settings/connections of:

hard disk parameters in BIOS setup

jumpers on the controller (master/slave)

interface cables
