3. Set Flash Disk Master to “AUTO”.
4. Set boot device to floppy.
5. Boot DOS from the floppy, and verify that the System Configuration Screen
shows only the Flash Disk.
6. Run FDISK.
7. Delete all current partitions (any data currently stored in the partitions will be
lost).
8. Exit FDISK (this will cause a reboot), then run FDISK again.
9. Create an 8 Mbyte primary partition.
10. Create an 8 Mbyte extended partition.
11. Set-up a logical device for the 8 Mbyte extended partition.
12. Set the Primary partition as an active partition.
13. Exit FDISK.
If an operating system has been installed on the Flash Disk that modifies the Master
Boot Record (MBR), the following steps are required to rewrite the MBR for DOS.
14. Run FDISK/MBR.
15. Run FORMAT C: (use the extension /s option if you want the Flash Disk as a
bootable DOS device).
16. Format D: (this is only required if two partitions were created).
17. Reset the CPU and enter the CMOS set-up.
18. Set Primary Master to “AUTO”.
19. Set boot device to desired boot source.
Drive letter assignments for a simple system are illustrated in Figure 3-1 on page 64.
Understanding the order the operating system assigns drive letters is necessary for
these multiple partition configurations. The operating system assigns drive letter C to
the active primary partition on the first hard disk (the boot device). Drive D is
assigned to the first recognized primary partition on the next hard disk. The operating
system will continue to assign drive letters to the primary partitions in an alternating
fashion between the two drives. The next logical partitions will be assigned drive
letters starting on the first hard drive, lettering each logical device sequentially, until
all are assigned a drive letter. The system will then perform the same sequential
lettering of each logical partition on the second hard disk.
NOTE:
Drive letter changes caused by adding an additional drive or changing the
initial partitioning scheme may cause difficulties with an operating system installed
prior to the changes. Plan your configuration prior to installing the operating system
to minimize difficulties.
