MaxBlast Plus

MaxBlast Plus is the installation utility that Maxtor provides to its customers. This software is shipped on a diskette that is bootable. The self-booting feature is provided by the StorageSoft® that runs the software's GUI interface . The utility that comes with MaxBlast Plus is DriveGuide (DG.exe). MaxBlast Plus is a utility that has been designed to allow users to quickly and easily install new Maxtor IDE hard drives. It will automatically identify the attached hard drives, (such as Model, Serial Number, Cylinders, Heads, and Sectors.) analyze the system BIOS, (such as the date of the BIOS build, manufacturer, etc..), the system processor type, and if the user requests, launch the DriveGuide program. The DriveGuide program will automatically detect the status of the hard drive and prompt the user of their installation options. It will partition, format, and if desired, transfer the operating system to the new drive.

What differentiates MaxBlast Plus from MaxBlast:

Friendly GUI Interface with mouse support

Comprehensive Pre-Installation Screens that give the steps needed to physically install your Maxtor Hard Drive. These screens can be accessed from the MaxBlast Plus diskette EVEN if your hard is NOT installed in your computer.

The PowerMax diagnostic utilities are included on this disk
