Using the Operating System for Partitioning

Using the Operating System for Partitioning

  Partitioning a hard disk drive or installing Disk Manager on the drive erases all user data on the drive.

See the information that came with the operating system to determine how to partition and format the new drive using the operating system installation procedures.

•  If you are installing the primary drive, the configuration-setup program prompts  you for partitioning and formatting information as part of the operating system installation process.
•  If you are installing a secondary drive, you must enter the commands required by the operating system to partition and  format the drive. For DOS with Windows, use the FDISK and FORMAT commands.
