Maxtor recommends that you use the Auto-Detect feature in the BIOS for hard drive configuration. If your BIOS does not utilize Auto-Detect, Maxtor recommends that you:

  • Manually enter the Maximum Cylinder value for the hard drive if greater than 8.4 GB.
  • Manually enter the Actual Cylinder value for the hard drive if less than 8.4 GB.

NOTE: NEVER enter more than 16,383 cylinders in the system BIOS. This may potentially cause data loss.

For more information on cylinder limitations, BIOS, step-by-step installation procedures, troubleshooting procedures and more go to the Maxtor.com KnowledgeBase.
