it means that MS-DOS can’t “find” the hard disk drive. This

is either because the drive controller board has been incorrectly

set up, or more likely, the hard disk drive has not yet been

partitioned.

If the computer correctly executed the C: command, but failed

to display a directory, it probably means that the hard disk has

been partitioned, but not yet formatted. The next sections

describe how to partition and format your hard disk system.

Changing Your SETUP

Before you can partition and format your hard disk, you have
to let your computer know that you have one. This is done
with the SETUP program. Once you have determined that
your hard disk is “clean,” that is to say neither partitioned nor
formatted, you should enter the SETUP program.

Note

If you are not familiar with the SETUP program, take a
moment to review the information in Chapter 2,

“Running the Setup Program”

Turn your computer on. When you see the following message,

Press <DEL> if you want to run SETUP/EXTD-SET

Press < DEL > key. Move the cursor to the RUN SETUP
option and press Enter. The system displays the Setup Menu.

For now, look at the information on the left side of the screen.
