Installation

The Installation procedure went smoothly with no hitches at all. However some of you might have trouble detecting the drive through your motherboard. So you'll have to get an update for the BIOS from your manufactures site. The drive comes with an ATA 66/100 IDE cable, Installation Diskette. However you can go for an OEM version to save some green.
