IDE hard disk drives made by different manufacturers might not work together.
If you get drive failure messages with one drive as primary, and the other as secondary, try reversing the configurations
of the two drives. If they still fail, the two drives might not be compatible.
Be sure to use the 6-32 x 3/16 inch screws provided with this option. The screws
must be no more than 6 mm (.25 in.) in length Using the wrong size screws might damage the drive.
The BIOS of some computers does not support drive capacities greater than 528MB. The Ontrack Disk Manager Hard Disk Installation Utilities software diskette,
included in the Deskstar AT Hard Disk Drive package, contains a program that overcomes this limitation. See Dynamic Drive Configuration in the Ontrack Disk Manager User's Guide
for additional information.
