4.Select option 3 to delete the primary partition from the EZ- Drive installed drive.

Note. EZ-Drive puts a volume label on the partition it creates. You must enter the label name to delete the partition.

5.Repartition the drive in the partition sizes you want. Refer to your DOS manual if you need assistance creating partitions. Remember to make the Drive C primary partition active.

The computer will reboot when the partition process is complete. However, you must make sure the EZ-Drive installed drive is present to continue with the format. (The EZ-Drive banner ap- pears when the drive is recognized.)

1.Remove the diskette while the computer reboots. Press the CTRL key when the following message appears:

Hold the CTRL key down to boot from a floppy

The message is very quick and you may need to boot several times before you succeed. (Some computers allow you to press the CTRL key early.) If you get an Invalid OS error message, the computer has not found the EZ-Drive installed drive, and you must start the boot process again.

2.Reinsert the diskette.

3.Type format drive: for each partition you have created. drive represents the letter assigned to the partition.

Note. DOS automatically assigns a letter to each partition. Use the appropriate letter in the format statement.

If you are formatting Drive C, type format c: /s to make the drive bootable.

4.Reboot the computer when you are done formatting.
