How to Partition the Hard Disk under Windows 98,SE

Windows comes with a built-in utility called fdisk. This program is used to

partition a large hard drive into smaller virtual drives. One advantage of

having two smaller virtual drives is the decreased downtime while running

applications such as ScanDisk or Defrag.

To use fdisk to partition a hard drive, follow these directions:

1. To open fdisk, left-click the Start menu, select Run or Hold, and

release the Windows button + R.

2. At the command line, type "fdisk" (without quotes) and hit Enter.

3. When fdisk opens you'll be asked if you'd like to enable large disk

support. "Y" should already be selected. Hit Enter.

4. Next, you need to set the current fixed disk drive to equal your newly

installed hard drive. To do this, select 5 from the list and press Enter.

5. Find the number next to your new drive, type it into Enter Fixed Disk

Drive Number, and hit Enter. (In most cases, if you just added a

second hard drive, the number from the list will equal 2. Before you

proceed, double-check that the current fixed hard drive is equal to

the new hard drive you just installed. If it is, you should see any

number other than 1 next to Current Fixed Drive.)

6. This will take you back to the beginning screen.

7. From here, select 1 to "Create DOS Partition or Logical DOS Drive"

and hit Enter.

8. Select 1 to "Create Primary DOS Partition" and hit Enter.

9. Your computer will begin to verify the new drive's integrity. This

process will only take few minutes to complete.

10. The next screen to appear will ask, "Do you wish to use the

maximum available size for a Primary DOS partition?" Press Y if you

only want to create one partition or N if you'd like to create multiple

partitions on the drive. Then hit Enter.

Create one partition

1. If you pressed Y, the computer will create the partition and then

transfer you back to the beginning screen. From here, select 4 to

inspect to new hard drive's partition.
