Note:

Capacity may be restricted to 8.4GB (or less) due to system BIOS
limitations. Check with your system manufacturer to determine
if your BIOS supports LBA Mode for hard drives greater than
8.4GB. Default logical cylinders is limited to 16,383 as per the
ATA-4 specifications.To match the logical specifications of the
drive to the drive type of a particular BIOS, consult the system’s
drive-type table. This table specifies the number of cylinders,
heads, and sectors for a particular drive type.

Boot the system using the operating system installation disk—for example, MS-
DOS—then follow the installation instructions in the operating system manual.
