Configure your computer
1. Turn on your computer. Your computer may detect a
configuration change and prompt you to proceed to
the Setup screen.
2. If your computer does not prompt you to reconfigure,
enter your computer’s Setup, typically by key
selection or keyboard combinations during power-on
or during a reboot. Refer to your system manual for
the proper key sequence. If the computer fails to boot
up, power off, remove the drive, and return your
system to its original configuration. Reboot and enter
your computer’s Setup. Follow the directions in
step 3, then attach the drive.
3. Select Auto Detect if your computer Setup supports
this feature. If your computer does not support Auto
