EIDE hard-disk drives must be physically formatted, partitioned, and logically format-
ted before they can be used to store data. Every hard-disk drive from Dell is physically
formatted before it is sent to you.
NOTE: On systems with hard-disk drives larger than 2 gigabytes (GB), create a pri-
mary partition of 2 GB and divide the remaining capacity into partitions of 2 GB or
less. For example, a system with a 2.5-GB hard-disk drive would have a primary parti-
tion of 2 GB (drive C) and a second partition of 500 megabytes (MB) (drive D).
Hard-disk drives must be partitioned this way because MS-DOS–based operating sys-
tems (including Windows NT, when using a file allocation table [FAT] 16 file system)
do not support drive partitions larger than 2 GB.
To partition and logically format your hard-disk drive, use the program(s) offered by
your operating system.
For MS-DOS, use the fdisk and format commands to perform these procedures. The
fdisk and format commands are described in the MS-DOS reference documentation.
For OS/2, see the discussion on partitioning and logically formatting hard-disk drives in
the documentation that came with the operating system.
