Add-On Devices Replacing the Hard Disk Drive To prepare a new hard disk drive When you install a new hard disk drive, you also need to prepare it to be able to work with your computer. • If you want to restore the Windows software and operating system that were originally installed on your computer, you can do so using the Recovery CD that also came with your computer. See "To recover the factory installation of your hard disk" on page 154. • If you want to use the hard disk with other than the original software and operating system, prepare the hard disk as described in the "Installing Windows" chapters of this guide. • If you want to prepare a second hard disk module in the plug-in module bay, follow these steps. 1. Install the second hard drive. 2. Click Start, Settings, Control Panel, then double-click Administrative Tools (Windows 2000), or click Start, Control Panel, Performance and Maintenance, Administrative Tools (Windows XP). 3. Double-click Computer Management, then click Disk Management in the tree. 4. In the lower-right pane, right-click the unused area of the new disk (probably disk 1) and click Create Partition. Follow the displayed instructions to create an NTFS partition that uses the entire drive. 94 Corporate Evaluator's Guide
