Help text

Should you have a system w/ an AWARD Bios and your drives are larger than 32GB and it will not boot, one is required to perform a few OEM operations first. The option is called "STROKE" because it allows one to "soft clip" the drive to work around a barrier limit. For Maxtor drives it is called "jumpon.exe". Please search Maxtor's web-site for "JUMPON.EXE". IBM has a similar tool at: http://www.storage.ibm.com/hdd/support/download.htm.

If you are unsure, say N here.
