2. Use the arrow keys to move the highlight bar to the disk device
you want to partition, and then press Enter.
- If the selected disk device is controlled by the host adapter BIOS,
you can view information about it but you cannot partition it with
afdisk. (Use the DOS afdisk and format utilities.)
- If the selected disk device is unpartitioned, you must partition it
before you can format it. To do this, follow the instructions on the
screen. (Press F1 to see an explanation of the partitioning options.)
Information about the selected disk device appears in the lower
left of the screen. Disks smaller than 1 GB have 64 heads, 32
sectors per track, and cylinders equal to the number of megabytes
of available capacity. Disks larger than 1 GB have 255 heads, 63
sectors per track, and one cylinder per 8 MB of available capacity.
3. To create a new partition on the disk device, press Ins. The “Create
a DOS Partition” window appears in the lower right of the screen
and suggests that you create one partition on the disk device, equal
to its entire capacity. If this is what you want to do, skip to Step 5.
4. To change the size of the partition, use the arrow keys to select
Start Cylinder and End Cylinder, and type in the numbers you
want. Partitions up to 2 GB are supported.
5. When the number of cylinders is what you want, press Esc. When
the confirmation prompt appears, select Yes and press Enter to
create the partition. To create more partitions on the same disk
device, repeat steps 3, 4, and 5. As you create partitions on the
disk., they are added to the window at the upper right of the
screen.
6. Press Esc to return to the “Select SCSI Device to Partition”
window. If you want to partition a different disk device, select the
device from the list and repeat the earlier steps.
7. To quit afdisk, press Esc and select Yes to confirm that you want
to quit.
