Choose New Drive File from the C: or D: pop-up menu.

In the dialog box that appears, choose a location for the drive container. Type a name and a size for the container.

You can make the container as small as 2 MB or as large as 1023 MB. The amount of space you need depends on the software you want to install. If you are installing DOS and a few small applications, you’ll need about 100 MB. If you are installing Microsoft Windows, you’ll need at least 150 MB. If you are installing Microsoft Windows 95, you’ll need at least 200 MB.

IMPORTANT Once a drive container is created, its size cannot be changed. Before choosing a size for your drive container, decide which PC operating system and applications you want to run. Check the documentation that came with the software to estimate how much space you’ll need; then allow some extra room for additional applications. If you still run out of space on the drive container, you can create another drive container and assign it to another drive.

6To format the drive container with multiple partitions, make sure the Initialize Drive File box is not checked.

When this box is unchecked, PC Setup does not initialize the container for you. You have to do it manually in DOS, as described in step 8.

7Click Create.

The time that it takes to create a drive container depends on the size of the container.
