Close the Info window by clicking its close box. Switch to the PC environment.

At the DOS C: prompt, type DIR.

Note how much space is available.

8Subtract the amount of available space on the drive from the container size.

The number you get is the current size you need for storage.

9Add 10 percent to the result of the calculation in step 8.

It’s a good idea to have extra space available, because some application programs may need to write temporary work files to the drive, or you may need to add software to the drive at a later time. The 10 percent figure, however, is arbitrary; use a number that suits your needs.

If the current container is too large, the result of this calculation is the size that the new container should be. Skip to step 12.

10Determine the amount of storage needed by the additional software you want to install.

To do so, add together the amounts of storage space required for the programs you want to install. This information is probably available in the documentation that came with your software.
