The Fixed Disk Setup Option

When you select this option, you see the Fixed Disk Setup

screen. From this screen, you select Disk 0 or Disk 1.

Your computer comes with a hard disk auto-sensing feature. If

you

press Enter when the Autotype Fixed Disk option is

highlighted, the system detects the type of hard disk drive and

fills in the remaining fields on the screen.

If you are using an older drive or a preformatted drive, it may

not support the auto-sensing feature. If you press Enter when

the Autotype Fixed Disk option is highlighted and the

drive parameters do not match your drive, you need to define

your own drive type or reformat the disk. See the next section

for instructions on how to define your own drive type.

Defining Your Own Drive Type

If the parameters for your hard disk do not match the

parameters detected by the auto-sensing feature, or if you want

to use your drive with parameters other than the defaults, you

can define your own type. (See Appendix A for a list of hard

disk drive types and their parameters.)

To define your own drive type, follow these steps:

1. Move the cursor to Type and select User.

2. Type the appropriate values for your hard disk.

3. After entering the appropriate values press E

SC

to exit this

screen.

See Appendix A for a list of standard hard disk drives and

Epson hard disk drives and their specifications.
