Partitioning the Hard Disk under Windows Me/98SE

FDISK is a program to create one or more partitions on the hard disk drive. (Data can only be written to the drive after the drive is partitioned and formatted). To partition the Mobile Video HDD, you must execute FDISK under the MS-DOS mode.

Please follow these steps:

1.Install the Mobile Video HDD under Windows, and confirm that it is properly recognized by the operating system.

2.Go into the MS-DOS mode by clicking on “Start” Ö “Programs” Ö “MS-DOS Prompt”.

3.At the DOS prompt, type “FDISK” and press Enter key.

4.In the first screen, answer “Y” to enable large disk support.

5.The next screen is “FDISK OPTIONS”.

You must type “5” on this screen to change the current fixed disk drive; the default fixed drive set by FDISK is the internal hard disk drive. If you do not change it to the Mobile Video HDD, the data of internal hard disk drive will be destroyed.

If the option 5 does not appear on this screen, it means the Mobile Video HDD is not installed properly, please check the installation.

6.In “Change Current Fixed Disk Drive” screen, type the disk drive number that is assigned to the Mobile Video HDD (usually, it is assigned to number 2).

7.Go back to “FDISK OPTIONS” screen, now you can create (type “1”) or delete (type “3”) the partition of the disk.

Delete partition will also erase all everything in the partition!!

8.Follow the instructions in FDISK to create a new “Primary” partition. Accepting the default values will create the largest FAT32 partition possible on the disk.

9.After you finish FDISK, reboot computer to activate the change.
