WINCHESTER SUPPLEMENT
The PART Utility
The PART utility enables you to change the names, number,
and sizes of Winchester disk partitions. It also allows you to
specify which partition you want accessed when your Com-
puter boots up.
PARTITIONS
Winchester disks distributed by Zenith Data Systems and
Heath Company have a very large storage capacity when
compared to floppy disks. To make practical use of all this
storage space, partitions divide the disk space into more man-
ageable sizes. You can establish up to 16 partitions on your
Winchester disk. Each partition will be treated like an indi-
vidual disk. Therefore, you may have different operating sys-
tems (for example, Z-DOS and CP/M) on different partitions.
However, you may not have two different operating systems
on the same partition.
Each of the two standard partitions that exists on your Win-
chester disk when it is shipped from the factory occupies ap-
proximately one half of the total available Winchester disk
space. Each has been assigned a disti
nct name: CPM and
Z-DOS. Both represent popular operating systems that are
sold by ZDS for the Z-100. Therefore, you do not need to
run PART before you can use your Winchester disk. If two
equal partitions meet your needs, then proceed to the "Instal-
ling Operating Systems" section. Note that there is no require-
ment that requires you to use Z-DOS and CP/M on these
partitions, in spite of the names given to them.
CAUTION: If you make any changes to the number or size
of the partitions on your Winchester disk with either PART
or PREP, you may destroy existing data on the disk. There-
fore, if you have previously used the drive for data storage,
you should back up all necessary files from each partition
before using the PART program.
