Figure 67. Creating a New Partition
Windows NT setup assumes by default that only one partition of the maximum available size will be created. Specify the size of the partition you want to create or accept the default by pressing Enter.
Note: We recommend certain configurations when creating Windows NT system partitions. Please refer to 3.6, ªDisk Partitioningº on page 65for our recommendations.
You will then be returned to the panel depicted in Figure 66 on page 92.
Select the partition on which to install NT 4.0 (recommended) or press C to install more partitions (not recommended!).
5.3.9 Formatting
Setup gives you the option of formatting the partition in a FAT format or the NTFS format. Our recommendation for
Specify the directory on your disk into which setup is to install NT 4.0. You may either accept the default of \WINNT, or you may type in the directory name of your choice and press Enter. We recommend that you accept the default.
Setup checks the disks for corruption. A panel now appears asking if you wish to allow setup to perform a more exhaustive secondary examination of your disks. If you are using a RAID controller, you may skip this step by pressing Esc because the initialization process performed by the controller in setting up the logical drives is sufficient.
If you are not using a RAID controller, we recommend that you allow setup to perform the analysis, as this will reduce the risk of data corruption caused by faulty disk drives.
