FIGURE 2-1Create a New Emulated Drive Dialog Box

3.In the Create a New Emulated Drive dialog box, select an operating system to auto-install.

If applicable, insert the first operating system installation CD-ROM into the Sun system.

Select one of the operating systems from the drop-down list box to auto-install.

Select DR DOS 7.01 (Bootable) if you plan to do a custom installation of an operating system at a later time. To install the operating system, you need to follow instructions in the corresponding chapter in this guide.

Select None (Unformatted disk) if you want to create a non-bootable drive (a D: drive). Before you can use the drive, you need to format it. See your operating system documentation.

Caution – When you specify an operating system to auto-install and insert the operating system CD into your CD-ROM drive, the software automatically finds and copies setup files, boot files, system files, and drivers for that operating system. Do not perform a custom installation unless you want to use customized installation scripts.

For Microsoft Windows operating systems, you can choose between creating the disk with the FAT16 file system or the NTFS file system. You cannot boot to OpenDOS using a C: that is drive formatted for the NTFS file system. This is a known restriction. See “FAT16 File System Limitation Issue” on page 151 for more information.
