Formatting and Partitioning a SCSI Hard Disk

Before you can use your SCSI devices, you must logically

format the hard disk drives and partition them for use with

your operating system(s). Then you can install your operating

system files on the drive you will use to boot the computer.

If you are installing MS-DOS, use the FDISK command to

format and partition the drives. If you are using another

operating system along with MS-DOS, be sure to leave room

when you run FDISK to create partitions for the other operating

system. See your MS-DOS manuals for instructions on running

FDISK.

If you will be using three or more SCSI hard disk drives with

MS-DOS, you will need to install the SCSI device drivers

(described in your

Software

Guide) before you can format and

partition the third drive.

Follow these steps to format and partition SCSI hard disk

drives in a system with three or more SCSI hard disk drives:

1. Use the MS-DOS FDISK command to format and partition

the SCSI hard disk drive you will use to boot your system.

Remember to leave room for other operating system

partitions if you will install another operating system along

with MS-DOS.

2. Install the operating system files on the hard disk as

described in your MS-DOS manuals.

3. Follow the steps in your

Software Guide

to install the

MS-DOS SCSI drivers on the first SCSI hard disk drive.

4. Now run FDISK from your first SCSI hard disk drive to

format and partition the rest of the drives.
