8.2.2 Creating Partitions under Windows 2000
After installing a new hard disk it is necessary to create partitions if the partitions
contain errors or need to be changed.
Caution
All stored data is lost when you delete or create partitions. The hard disk partitions
will be erased.
The hard disk is partitioned on delivery as follows (only for versions delivered with
Windows):
– one partition with the FAT32 file system with at least 6100 Mbytes,
– one partition with the NTFS file system.
To restore the partition to its delivery state, proceed as follows:

Press <F2> to enter Setup
appears. After initialization, select the boot options in the boot menu.
2. Select ”ATAPI CD-ROM Drive”.
3. Select ”2. Boot for FDISK, FORMAT or Windows 98 Setup” in the ”Microsoft
Windows Startup Menu” screen form.
4. Start the Microsoft Windows hard disk configuration program with ”A:\>FDisk”.
In the screen form select “Do you wish to enable large disk support (Y/N)...?
[ Y ]” for Yes to support data media with large memory capacity.
5. Create a primary DOS partition with 4090 MB. Enter [N] for “No” for the
question ”Do you want to use the maximum memory size available for the
primary DOS partition and do you want to activate this partition?” and set the
partition size to 6100 MB.
