How to Obtain MaxBlast Software

If a MaxBlast software installation diskette was not included with the hard drive, the software may be

downloaded from Maxtor’s Internet home page at http://www.maxtor.com.

After downloading MaxBlast, perform the following steps to create a bootable diskette:

1 If MaxBlast was downloaded to a hard drive, perform the following steps below. If MaxBlast was

downloaded to a diskette, skip to step 2.

◆◆

◆ Insert a blank 1.44 MB diskette in the A: floppy disk drive.

◆◆

◆ Set the system DOS prompt to the hard drive letter and directory where the downloaded MaxBlast

installation software is stored.

◆◆

◆ Type “MAXBLAST,“ press the [Enter] key and follow the on-screen prompts. This will create a

bootable diskette with MaxBlast software loaded and ready for use. Go to step 3.

2 If the downloaded MaxBlast software is on a diskette, place this diskette in the A: floppy disk drive.

◆◆

◆ Set the system to the floppy disk drive DOS prompt.

◆◆

◆ Type “MAXBLAST,“ press the [Enter] key and follow the on-screen prompts. This will create a

bootable diskette with MaxBlast software loaded and ready for use.

3 Now return to paragraph B in section 7 of these installation instructions.

3 If the BIOS was set to AUTO DETECT, follow the instructions in Section 7 to prepare the hard drive

using the MaxBlast installation software.

If other BIOS settings were used, access the system BIOS SETUP program and set the BIOS parameters to a

User Definable Type with 4,092 cylinders, 16 heads and 63 sectors per track for the Maxtor hard drive. Then

follow the instructions for setting the BIOS in Section 6 then Section 7 to prepare the hard drive with

MaxBlast software.

System Hangs During Boot

If the system hangs during the boot process after installing the Maxtor hard drive – either before or after

setting the system BIOS – the system many have a BIOS with a cylinder limitation. This may occur for hard

drives that exceed 2.1 GB. If this happens, do the following:

1 Turn the system OFF.

2 Install the cylinder limitation jumper (J46) on the drive. The figure below shows the Maxtor hard drive

configured as a Master or Slave device with the cylinder limitation jumper installed.

IMPORTANT: When the Cylinder Limitation jumper (J46) is installed, the Maxtor hard drive must be

prepared using MaxBlast installation software.
