Sample System Configuration

 

Disk 1 — One 4 GB disk containing:

 

One active primary FAT32 partition (C:) running Windows 95.

 

One extended partition enclosing one logical FAT partition (E:).

 

Disk 2 — One 2 GB hard disk containing:

 

One 1 GB FAT32 primary partition (D:).

 

1 GB unpartitioned free space.

 

Procedure

 

1. Select Disk 2.

 

2. Create a logical partition in the 1 GB free space using the following

 

information:

 

Partition Type: Select FAT.

 

Label: Type one, if desired.

 

Size: Accept the pre-calculated size.

NOTE:

The partition will be assigned drive F: after reboot. Additionally, an extended

 

partition will automatically be created to enclose the logical partition.

 

3. Apply the changes to your system.

Deleting Partitions

The Delete operation deletes a partition and destroys all its data. To ensure that

 

you do not accidentally delete a partition, you must first type the volume label. If

 

you did not assign a volume label when you created the partition, you must type

 

NO NAME to confirm the deletion.

 

To delete an extended partition, you must first delete all logical partitions within

 

the extended partition.

 

Deleting a partition can make your drive letters change, causing applications not

 

to run because application shortcuts, initialization files, and registry entries refer to

 

incorrect drives.

WARNING:

Performing the following procedure will destroy all data on the selected

 

partition and may change drive letter assignments. See “How the OS
