HELP - Verify Configuration
The Install program is displaying a list of the hard disks that it has
determined are present in your system. If this list appears to be
wrong, it may be due to one of the following reasons:
* if a drive-type has already been specified in CMOS, the drive size
in this list will match that reported by CMOS, not the drive's
true size
* the drive's data or power cables may be loose
* some disks, such as RAM disks and network drives, will not appear
in the list, though they will still operate in your system
* only the first 8 hard disks will be displayed
Press <Enter> to confirm that the list is correct or press <F10> to
exit the program now to correct any hardware errors before proceeding.
<Esc> Cancel
HELP - Select Mode
Manual installation lets you set the number and sizes of partitions on
your hard disk. In Manual mode, you can also delete and reformat
existing partitions.
Automatic Installation partitions and formats each unformatted disk to
the maximum size allowed by the operating system or the hard disk. It
does not change partially or completely formatted disks.
Options lets you configure several disk formatting options.
Colors cycles between the 3 color palettes and 1 monochrome palette./
HELP - Select Option
Create Primary Partition On Second Hard Disk: "No" specifies only the
first hard disk in the system will be installed as bootable. "Yes"
specifies that the Install program should make every disk it installs
bootable by DOS. This will sometimes effect the way drive leters are
assigned to your physical hard disks.
Use DOS Read-Verify Type Format: "No" causes the Install program to
use an accelerated format method to format the hard disk (supported
only by Quantum IDE hard disks). "Yes" specifies that the Install
program should read-verify the entire hard disk before initializing
it. This procedure takes some time and is not necessary on error-free
disks.
<PgDn> Page 1 of 2
HELP - Select Option
Use Extended BIOS Table When Setting CMOS: "No" specifies that the
Install program should use only the standard BIOS drive-types when
trying to find the closest match for your hard disk. "Yes" specifies
that Install should also try to find extended drive-types in your
computer's BIOS.
Use Software Driver For Full Capacity: "No" specifies that the
Install program will not use the DOS device driver IDE_DOS.SYS. The
amount of your hard disk that is available for use will be determined
by how closely a match for your disk can be found in the computer's
BIOS. "Yes" specifies that the device driver should be used, which
will allow all the hard disk space to be used by DOS, regardless of
what BIOS drive-types are available.

HELP - No Unpartitioned Drives
All of the hard disks in your system have been partitioned, and
Automatic mode will not change partitioned disks. To make any changes
to your system configuration, you will need to use Manual mode.
Hard disks that are only partially partitioned cannot be changed using
the Automatic mode. You must use Manual mode to make any changes to
these hard disks.
HELP - Select Disk
The up (
) and down (
) arrow keys move the highlight bar to each of
the recognized hard disks in the system. Once the hard disk you want
to work on is highlighted, press the <Enter> key to proceed. If your
system contains drives other than Quantum IDE drives, they will also
appear in this list but they will not be selectable.
In addition, selecting Options lets you configure several disk
formatting options.
HELP - Disk Already Partitioned

losing data.
To continue working on this hard disk, press <Enter>.
To select another hard disk, press <Esc>.
HELP - Enter Volume Size
Enter the size of the volume (partition) you wish to create in
millions of bytes (where 1 MB = 1,000,000 bytes). Then press <Enter>.
The volume will then be created. Formatting of the volume will occur
when you select the Commit Changes menu option on the Partition and
Format menu.
HELP - Enter Volume Label
You can type in a volume label (up to 11 characters) or leave the
label blank.
Press <Enter> to enter the label and continue to the next volume.
HELP - No Free Space Available
There is no available space on the hard disk to create a new volume.
If you wish to make changes to this disk, you must first delete one or
more of the existing volumes (which will result in lost data if any
exists in the deleted volume or volumes).
To create volumes on another hard disk, press <Enter> to return to the
Hard Disk Configuration menu. From there, you can either save these
changes (using the Save Changes menu option), then press <Esc> to

HELP - Insert System Disk
The disk in drive A: is not the correct disk. You must insert the
system (boot) disk from which you originally booted the system (or a
disk with the exact same version of the operating system).
If you do not insert the proper disk, you will not be able to continue
with the installation.
HELP - Extended Partition Warning
You have an extended partition defined on the hard disk and your
version of DOS does not support extended partitions. Your version of
DOS only supports up to 32 MB on the hard disk.
To access volumes in the extended partition you must use the Quantum
IDE DOS device driver (IDE_DOS.SYS). Press <Enter> to continue and
use the up (
) and down (
) arrow keys to select the CMOS
Configuration option.
Select the Software Driver option in the Set CMOS Configuration menu
and continue with the installation.

HELP - Volume Deleted
The volume you selected has been deleted. After you press <Enter>,
you can select another volume to delete, or return to the Partition
and Format menu.
Press <Enter> to continue.
HELP - View Volumes
The bottom window displays formatted volumes and unused space on your
hard disk. The columns provide you with the following information:
Volume: The letter that refers to the volume when you are using the
system. This may differ from the letter you actually use if there
are unrecognized hard disks or RAM disks installed in your system.
Size: The size in MB (1 MB = 1,000,000 bytes) of the volume or space.
Operating System: The operating system with which the disk was
created.
Volume Label: The label for the volume.
HELP - Exit
To return to your previous location in the program, move the highlight
bar to <No>, then press <Enter>.
To continue with the exit procedure, use the up (
) and down (
) arrow
keys to move the highlight bar to <Yes> and press <Enter>. The exit
procedure updates your system configuration with any changes you have
made.
HELP - Delete Volume
The area you selected is not a volume. It represents non-partitioned,
non-formatted space on your hard disk. There is no need to delete it.
You can create a volume in this space by using the Create Volumes menu
option in the Volume Configuration menu.
HELP - Create Volumes
You can create, delete, or view the volumes (partitions) on the hard
disk you have selected.
Create Volumes lets you create and name volumes of any size up to the
maximum allowed by the operating system or the hard disk. To create a
volume, you must have blank (unformatted) space on the hard disk you
have selected. You can verify that you have blank space by first
selecting View Volumes; blank areas will contain the phrase '<Blank>'
or '<Unused Space>' under the Operating System column.
A volume must be created in a contiguous space on the hard disk, so
if you have two unformatted spaces with a formatted area between them,
you cannot create a volume that is as large as the sum of the two
spaces.
HELP - Delete Volume
There are no volumes on this hard disk to delete.
On the hard disk you've selected, you can create new volumes, or you
can select another hard disk to work on.
To select another hard disk, press <Enter> to return to the Select
Hard Disk menu. From there, you can either save these changes (using
the Save Changes menu option), then press <Esc> to return to the
Select Hard Disk menu, or discard these changes using the Cancel
Changes menu option.
HELP - Create Volume
You have partitioned all of the space on this hard disk. There is no
room to create any new volumes.
If you wish to continue working on this hard disk, you can either view
or delete these volumes, or save the changes you have made.
To select another hard disk, press <Enter> to return to the Hard Disk
Configuration menu. From there, you can either save these changes
(using the Save Changes menu option), then press <Esc> to return to the
Select Hard Disk menu, or discard these changes using the Cancel
Changes menu option.
HELP - Create Volume
You have entered a volume size that exceeds the available unused space
in this area of the hard disk, or the maximum volume size allowed by
your operating system.
You can either enter a smaller number in the Size column, or if you
would prefer to have the Install program select the maximum possible
size, press <Enter> and the Install program will fill in the maximum
allowable volume size.
HELP - No Volume IDs Available
There are no more Volume IDs available for creating volumes (C:
through Z: have been allocated). If you wish to create additional
volumes, you must delete or combine existing volumes. To do so, use
the Delete Volume and Create Volume options in the Volume
Configuration menu in Manual mode to alter your hard disk
configurations.
HELP - Delete Volumes
You can create, delete, or view the volumes (partitions) on the hard
disk you have selected.
Delete Volumes removes volumes from the disk, making them no longer
recognizable by the operating system. To create a single large volume
from multiple smaller volumes, the smaller volumes must be deleted
before the larger volume is created (note: volumes may only be created
from contiguous spaces on the disk). Any data contained in a deleted
volume will no longer be readable.
HELP - View Volumes
You can create, delete, or view the volumes (partitions) on the hard
disk you have selected.
View Volumes starts by displaying the configuration of the selected
disk. As you make changes, it displays the configuration as if all
modifications had been committed (note that the changes you make to
your hard disk are not actually made until you commit them).
To discard the changes and start over on the same disk, press <Esc>
twice to display the Hard Disk Configuration menu, choose the Cancel
Changes menu option to discard the changes, respond that you wish to
continue, and then select the same disk.
HELP - Save Changes
You can set or change the BIOS drive-type, and create, delete, or view
the volumes (partitions) on the hard disk you have selected.
The hard disk is not actually modified until you save your changes, at
which time the disk is re-partitioned and formatted. Until you have
saved your changes, your disk has not been physically changed and you
can discard the changes (and keep your original configuration and
data) by selecting another hard disk, or by exiting the program.

HELP - Using The Quantum Software Driver With Windows 3.1 FastDisk
If you are installing the Quantum IDE DOS device driver (IDE_DOS.SYS)
and you wish to use the FastDisk feature of Windows 3.1, you must
use the Quantum FastDisk device driver (IDE_WIN.386) rather than the
one provided with Windows. After installing your hard disk, install
Windows. Then install IDE_WIN.386 using the Quantum FastDisk
installation program (SETUP.EXE).
