The following instructions pertain to the risk of fire, electric

shock, or bodily injury. Please read all of these instructions

carefully.

System requirements for IBM Compatible PCs

Windows 95/98 for PC Card

To check your Windows Revision level, go to the Windows

desktop. Single click on My Computer with the left mouse

button, then single click with the right mouse button. From the

drop-down list select Properties. Under System, Microsoft

Windows 95 identifies the Revision level of your operating

system (for example, 4.00.950 b or c).

Windows NT 4.0 for PC Card

It will be necessary to reformat the Travelstar E in order to use it

in Windows NT. The FAT 32 format as formatted from the factory

is not compatible with Windows NT 4.0. A single FAT16 partition

can be created by reformatting your IBM Travelstar E using

Windows NT 4.0 (Fat 16). Or you can format the entire drive in

one partition using NTFS (this is only compatible with NT). The

software residing on your IBM Travelstar E will be deleted during

the formatting process. However, you can contact the IBM Hard

Disk Drive Technical Support Center at 888-426-5214 to request

a CDROM containing the original files.
