Preparing the Drive for Use
Partitioning a hard disk drive or installing Disk Manager
on the drive erases all user data on the drive.
Disk Partition Size Limitation
The largest partition size that you can create under DOS, Windows 95, Windows 3.x and OS/2 operating systems that use the file allocation table (FAT) conventions is appr. 2.14GB.
If you are installing a drive larger than 2.14GB, you must create more than one partition to use the full capacity of the drive.
If you are using the high performance file system (HPFS) conventions with OS/2, see the operating system documentation for partition size information.
To create the max. partition size (2.14GB) when you are using the DOS based FDISK utility to partition the drive, you must enter the partition size as 2047 MB
For more information about partition sizing, see the operating system's user guide. Also, the Disk Manager online manual contains information about clusters and how to assign hard disk drive partitions.
To open the Disk Manager manual go to the A: prompt, insert the Disk Manager Diskette, type dm/h, and press Enter.
