Partitioning and Formatting the Drive |
|
Newly installed hard disk drive must be partitioned
and formatted before it is able to be used. |
|
1. Go into the CMOS screen while booting the
computer. |
|
For details of the program, refer to the computer's user's
manual. |
|
2. Place the hard disk drive on the bracket
and set it with the screws. |
|
A>
FDISK | More info>>> General FDISK 2.1G limit FDISK |
|
|
If you want to use only 1 drive, select all the disk space
available by the hard disk drive. and if you want to use 2 drives,
divide the disk space. Hard disk's maximum capacity recognized
by DOS and WINDOWS 95(OS R1)version is 2113 MBytes (1 MByte=1,000,000
Bytes) or 2015 MBytes(1 MByte=1,048,576 Bytes) so if the hard
disk drive has larger capacity, it must be divided. If the hard
disk's jumper is set as booting hard disk drive(Master), check
to make sure that the Status setting is set at A (Active). For
the SOFTWARE users of higher than WINDOWS 95(OS R2)Version,
(Windows 98 included), select 'Large Size' or 'Large Disk Support'
in the FDISK program.(drives with capacity larger than 2.1 GBytes,
both FAT16/FAT32 may be used).This is due to support capability
of over 2.1GBytes in Windows 95(OS R2) Version. |
|
3. Reboot with a booting diskette. |
|
|
4. Run FORMAT program and format the hard disk
drive. |
|
|
If you divided the drive into many drives(D:,
E:, etc.), by running partitioning program, you must format
all the drives.
NOTE: For the booting hard disk drive (C drive with Master
jumper setting), you must include /S option when running the
format program for the hard disk drive to boot.
A> FORMAT C: /S.
Cation: FDISK and FORMAT programs erases all the data on
the hard disk drive so make a back-up before running FDISK
or FORMAT programs. |

5.Installing DOS and Windows 95/98 (Refer to
Windows 95/98 user's manual to install Windows). |

not recognize capacity larger than 8.4 GB,
In case of 40 GB or larger HDD in the whole capacity, system
