Creating a New System Partition
If you used SmartStart to configure your server and install your operating
system, then this procedure was done for you. Use this procedure if the
operating system was not installed on the server.
To create a new system partition, follow this procedure:
1. Insert the Compaq SmartStart CD in the CD-ROM drive and turn on
the server.
IMPORTANT: The system partition requires six megabytes of disk space at the
beginning of the hard drive and an unused entry in the boot record. SmartStart will
prompt you to overwrite an existing DOS partition on the hard drive.
2. If the system is configured and there is space on the hard drive for the
system partition, SmartStart automatically creates the partition and
copies the Compaq Utilities from the Compaq SmartStart CD to the
partition. This process takes two reboots. Leave the CD in the drive
until the process completes. The process is complete when the CD main
menu displays.
