Most of the difficulty in replacing your hard drive is simply hoping that your new drive will get along with your system’s BIOS and operating system. Major hard drive manufacturers include installation software that reconciles your hard drive with your BIOS, partitions the drive, and formats it without much help from you. A second common problem is mis-configuration of the hard drive jumper. The jumper must be set correctly. If the hard drive is the only one in your computer, it must be allocated as the master drive. If it is the secondary of two (the slave), set the jumper accordingly. Another common problem occurs when connecting the data cable to the new drive. The power cable will only fit in one way, but you will have to attach the data cable with the red stripe facing the power connection. If the drive’s documentation says something different, though, take its word over mine. Don’t force any connector or bend its pins but be sure the connections are fully engaged. Loose cables can cause strange errors later.

All this is time-consuming, but you’ll be enjoying your new drive’s extra space when you’re through. Of course, don’t be afraid to call the drive manufacturer’s technical support line. New hard drives should include free technical support for a period of time. This task is difficult but the benefits are a larger hard drive which means you can install more applications. It may even save and load files faster than your old hard drive resulting in greater enjoyment.
