**See pictures on first page.
The hard drives are located in and around the drive cage. Depending how many drives are in the system
determines its physical location and drive letter.
On a KE
The OS C: drive is usually connected to the same IDE cable as the CD-ROM
E only in a KE is the second hdd. It is connected to its own IDE cable.
F in a KE is a third HDD, connected to same IDE cable as the E drive.
G in a KE is on its own IDE cable, connected to an additional controller on the motherboard or separate
IDE controller card.
On a Kpro or KN
The OS C: drive is usually connected to the same IDE cable as the CD-ROM
E in a KP/KN is a partition of the C drive, no second drive for the KP
F in a KP/KN is a second HDD, on its own IDE cable.
*TIP The actual drive “letter” can be determined by disconnecting the drive, start Windows, see what drive is missing.

A third or more drive may exist. This may not show up in bios.
Windows can be checked later for the presence of the drives.
After the Bios has been checked, restart the pc
4. WINDOWS XP OPERATING SYSTEM
Windows OS will display the connected and formatted status of the drives.
If the drive is already formatted, it will display in My Computer and Disk Management. It’s volume name
must checked to conform to E: DB-1 F: DB-2 etc. It must be reformatted in Windows before using it in
ViconNet.
If a new unformatted drive is installed, it would have to be added into Windows through Disk Management
Utilities. Often Windows “New Partition Wizard” will appear
(see Disk Management:, next page). Follow the
prompts to add the drive. Always add it as Primary Partition, format NTFS, Default allocation, No
compression. Quick Format is faster (2-5 mins) If Quick Format not checked, format might take 1-4 hours,
but is more thorough. Drive letter and volume name should be same as one this new drive is replacing.
