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.
