Use Fdisk to partition a hard disk

When you partition a hard disk, you use the Fdisk utility (short for fixed disk, another term for an internal hard disk) located on the Windows Startup disk you have already made.

To partition the hard disk

  • Shut down and turn off the computer, and insert the Windows Startup disk in drive A. Then restart the computer.
  • At the Microsoft Windows Startup menu, you can choose to start the computer with or without CD?ROM support. Press the number on your keyboard that corresponds to the choice you want.
    Note: After 30 seconds, the Windows Startup disk starts the computer with CD-ROM support, and might display a Help file. You can exit the Help file by pressing ALT+F on your keyboard to open the File menu, and then pressing X.

  • If the hard disk has an operating system on it (and is therefore partitioned), you will need to remove the partition(s). To do this in Fdisk, you must provide the volume name of each drive that has one. To gather volume names, at the command prompt, type the following, and then press ENTER:
    vol x:
    where x is a drive letter on the hard disk, such as C or D. Be sure to include the colon (:) after the drive letter. Write down the volume name. Repeat this step for each drive you have on the hard disk. It's okay if a drive does not have a volume name. Volume name information is not needed for floppy disk drives or CD-ROM drives.

  • To start Fdisk, type fdisk at the command prompt, and then press ENTER.
  • If you asked if you want to enable Large Disk Support, press Y or N, depending on which of the two following criteria best describes your needs, and then press ENTER. The main menu of the Fixed Disk Setup Program (Fdisk) appears.

    Pressing Y sets up your partitions so that they use the FAT32 (file allocation table) file format. Use this option if you want to have partitions that are larger than 2 GB (gigabytes), or if any additional operating systems you might install support the FAT32 file format, such as Windows 2000, Windows 98, or Windows 95.

    Pressing N sets up your partitions so that they use the older, FAT16 file format. Use this option if you do not want to have partitions that are larger than 2 GB, or if any additional operating systems you might install support only the FAT16 file format, such as Windows NT 4.0 or earlier, or versions of Windows prior to Windows 95.
