The Create a DOS Partition window at the lower right of the
panel suggests by default that you create one partition equal to
the total capacity of the disk drive, which in this example is 85
MB. (Each cylinder equals 1 MB; cylinders are numbered 0
through 84.)
If you want just one partition on the disk drive, skip to step 5 on
page 134.

To change the Start Cylinder and End Cylinder values, select
them with the Up and Down Arrow keys (
↑
or
↓
) and enter
different values.
You need to change these values if you want to create multiple
partitions on the disk drive. In this example, you could change
the End Cylinder number to 44 to create a 45-MB partition.
Then you could create a 40-MB partition for cylinders 45 through
84. Each partition would then be assigned a different drive
letter, such as E and F.
Note: AFDISK displays an error message if you try to enter
invalid values, such as a number greater than the actual
number of cylinders on the disk.
