Congratulations on purchasing a WD SATA hard drive! This document was designed to aid in the quick installation of your new SATA hard drive. If you experience  problems following these procedures or need further information regarding the installation and use of your drive, visit our website at support.wdc.com to search our online knowledge base for frequently asked questions and other common troubleshooting tips.

Compatibility
Windows® 7, Windows Vista®, Windows XP, Windows 2000
Note: Compatibility may vary depending on your hardware configuration and operating system.
System Requirements

  • SATA interface connector on motherboard, or SATA controller card (sold separately) installed in an available 32-bit PCI expansion slot (2.1- or 2.2-compliant).
  • 3.5-inch internal drive bay.

Unpacking & Drive Handling
WD hard drives are precision instruments and should be handled with care during unpacking and installation. Hard drives can be damaged by rough handling, shock and  vibration, or electrostatic discharge (ESD). Be aware of the following precautions:

  • This product contains no user-serviceable parts; refer servicing to WD-authorized personnel only.
  • Do not unpack your hard drive until you are ready to install it. Your hard drive is packaged in an antistatic bag.
  • To avoid ESD problems, ground yourself by touching the metal chassis of the computer before handling the hard drive. Articles of clothing generate static electricity. Do  not allow clothing to come in direct contact with the hard drive or circuit board components.
  • Handle the hard drive by its sides only. Avoid touching the circuit board components on the bottom of the hard drive.
  • Do not drop, shake, or knock down the hard drive.
  • Do not stack hard drives or stand your WD hard drive on its edge.

Getting Started

  1. Gather these materials and tools: WD hard drive kit; computer system manual; operating system manual and DVD or CD; SATA host controller drivers (if applicable);  Phillips and flat-blade screwdrivers.
  2. Before performing any hardware installation, back up your existing data.
  3. Before handling the hard drive or any other components, discharge static electricity by touching the metal chassis of your computer or by using an anti-static wrist strap.
  4. Locate and record your WD hard drive serial number, model number, and date code on the label on top of your drive.
  5. Power off the computer and unplug the power cord.
  6. Remove the system cover (refer to your system manual for instructions).

Set the Jumpers

  • Important: DO NOT change the default setting if you intend to use the drive in a desktop computer. Change the jumper settings ONLY if you intend to use the drive in an  enterprise storage environment. For more information on these advanced settings, visit support.wdc.com.
    It is not necessary to add a jumper shunt on the drive for workstation/desktop use. For enterprise storage enviroments, use the following advanced settings:
    SSC Mode: spread spectrum clocking feature enabled or disabled. Default setting is disabled or no jumper shunt placed on pins 1–2. Adding the jumper to pins 1–2 enables  the spread spectrum clocking feature.
    PM2 Enabled Mode: to enable power-up in standby (power management 2 or PM2) mode, place a jumper on pins 3–4. This mode enables controlled spinup by spinup  command in accordance with ATA standard and is mainly for server/workstation environments operating in multiple-drive configurations.
    Note: The PM2 feature is not available on all WD SATA drives.
    Important: PM2 mode requires a compatible BIOS that supports this feature. If PM2 is enabled and not supported by BIOS, the drive does not spin up and therefore is not  detected by the system.
    OPT1: 150 MB/s data transfer speed enabled or disabled. Default setting is disabled. To enable 150 MB/s data transfer speed, place a jumper on pins 5–6.
    OPT2: reserved for factory use (pins 7–8).

Alternate Instructions for Installing a Drive

Windows 7/Windows Vista
Windows Vista has all the necessary tools to help you properly install a SATA drive. Depending on your configuration, follow the appropriate set of instructions below  (Single Install or Adding a Second Drive).
Note: Ensure your drive is detected by your SATA controller during bootup or in the SATA BIOS by disconnecting any other hard drives from the computer system until  Windows has been completely installed on the desired hard drive.
Single Install:
If your SATA controller supports RAID, you may need to define your drive in a RAID Array before Windows can detect the drive, even if the motherboard or system drivers  are being loaded correctly. This is true even if installing a single drive. Contact your system or RAID controller manufacturer for assistance on defining your drive in a RAID  Array.

  1. Insert the Windows Vista DVD into the DVD-ROM drive and restart the system.

  2. Follow the onscreen prompts until the Where do you want to install Windows? screen displays.

  3. Your hard drive is listed in the center window screen as “Disk 0 Unallocated Space.”
    –If you want a single partition (single drive letter), click Next to automatically partition and format your hard drive in NTFS. Windows Vista continues installing.
    –If you want multiple partitions on this hard drive, click Drive options (advanced) and skip to step 5 below.
    –If your hard drive is not detected, you may need to obtain third party SATA controller drivers from the SATA controller manufacturer. These drivers must be installed  from a CD, DVD, floppy, or USB flash drive.

  4. After clicking Drive options (advanced), click New to add a new partition to the hard drive.

  5. Enter the capacity of the partition and click Apply.

  6. Select the Disk 0 Unallocated Space and click New to add another new partition to the hard drive.

  7. Enter the capacity of the partition and click Apply.

  8. Repeat steps 6 and 7 until the desired amount of partitions is obtained, then click Next to continue installing Windows Vista on the first partition.

Adding a Second Drive:

  1. Start Windows Vista and allow the operating system to boot to the desktop.
    Note: Be sure you are logged in as System Administrator.

  2. Once Windows has fully booted up, left-click the Start button to access Disk Management.

  3. Right-click Computer.

  4. Left-click Manage.

  5. When Computer Management opens, click Disk Management.

Partitioning/Formatting:
Note: In two separate windows, on the right side of the screen, a graphical representation of the partitions on the installed hard drives is displayed. The top window is for  viewing a drive’s status, capacity, and file system. The bottom window displays a representation of the drives in the system beginning with the boot drive (drive 0). In almost  all cases, you will want to work with the bottom window.

  1. Locate the newly installed hard drive and right-click the long Unallocated banner device listing.
  2. Click New Simple Volume from the menu.
  3. The New Simple Volume Wizard appears. Click Next to continue.
  4. Select the capacity of the first partition you want on this hard drive. If you want a single partition (single drive letter), leave the capacity the default value and click Next.
  5. You may assign a drive letter that is not already in use by other devices, then click Next to continue.
  6. Leave the allocation unit size at default and label the drive as desired. Select Perform a quick format and then click Next to continue.
  7. Click Finish when done.

Windows XP/Windows 2000
Windows XP/2000 has all the necessary tools to help you properly install a SATA drive. Depending on your configuration, follow the appropriate set of instructions below  (Single Install or Adding a Second Drive).
Note: Ensure your drive is detected by your SATA controller during bootup or in the SATA BIOS by disconnecting any other hard drives from the computer system until  Windows has been completely installed on the desired hard drive.

Single Install:
If your SATA controller supports RAID, you may need to define your drive in a RAID Array before Windows can detect the drive, even if the motherboard or system drivers  are being loaded correctly. This is true even if installing a single drive. Contact your system or RAID controller manufacturer for assistance on defining your drive in a RAID Array.

  1. Insert the Windows XP or 2000 CD into the CD-ROM drive and restart the system.
    Note: You may need to press the F6 key to load the driver for the SATA controller before Windows can find a drive to which to install. See Answer ID 127 in the  knowledge base at support.wdc.com for more information.

  2. From the partitioning option screen, create the partition size you want by pressing C. Note that the FAT32 does not allow partitions larger than 32 GB. For more  information about this limitation, please see Microsoft Article 184006 at support.microsoft.com. NTFS format, on the other hand, has no size limit on partition sizes.  After the partition(s) have been created and formatted, continue with Windows installation.

Adding a Second Drive:

  1. Start Windows and allow the operating system to boot to the desktop.
    Note: Be sure you are logged in as System Administrator.

  2. Once Windows has fully booted up, click the Start button, right-click My Computer, then click Manage.

  3. When Computer Management opens, click Disk Management.

  4. When Disk Management opens, the Initialize and Convert Disk

Wizard may appear.
Note: You must use this wizard to write a Signature to the drive.
Otherwise, the drive will not work with Windows. If the wizard does not appear, you may need to manually complete this process following the steps below:
a. Right-click on the name of the drive to be initialized. (Drives are numbered as follows: drive 0 being the boot drive and drive 13 represents all other drives.
For CD-ROM drives, the first is CD 0, the second CD 1, etc.)
b. Choose Initialize from the menu that appears.
c. The next screen shows the drive you selected to initialize. Make sure the drive is checked and click Next.
d. You will have the option to convert the drive from basic to dynamic storage. Leave this unchecked and click Next.
e. Click Finish
For more information about Basic and Dynamic storage, see Answer ID 282 at support.wdc.com.

Partitioning/Formatting:
Note: In two separate windows, on the right side of the screen, a graphical representation of the partitions on the installed hard drives is displayed. The top window is for  viewing a drive’s status, capacity, and file system. The bottom window displays a representation of the drives in the system beginning with the boot drive (drive 0). In almost  all cases, you will want to work with the bottom window.

  1. Once the disk is initialized, right-click in the unallocated space.
  2. Click on Create Partition from the menu.
  3. The Create Partition Wizard appears. Click Next to continue.
  4. On the next screen select either Primary or Extended Partition and click Next to continue.
