Booting with a diskette after EZ-Drive is installed
When you boot with a diskette, you must allow the EZ-Drive
information about the drive to load into memory before the system
information on the diskette loads. The diskette accesses the
BIOS directly, which does not recognize the EZ-Drive-installed
drive. To boot your computer with a diskette:
1. Boot the computer with the diskette-drive door open.
2. Press the
CTRL key when the following message appears near
the end of the boot sequence:
Hold the CTRL key down to boot from a floppy
3. Insert the boot diskette. The computer boots to Drive A.
Installing multiple partitions
The custom installation option in the installation menu allows you
to create up to nine partitions of equal size on the drive. To create
partitions of unequal size on your EZ-Drive installed drive, use
the FDISK and FORMAT commands on a DOS diskette. Refer to
your DOS manual if you need assistance deleting, creating and
formatting partitions. This instruction assumes you have already
installed the drive with EZ-Drive.
1. Boot your computer from Drive C.
2. Insert a bootable diskette that contains the FDISK and FOR-
MAT programs into Drive A and change the prompt.
3. Type fdisk.
Caution. If you have two drives, be sure you choose the
correct drive before deleting the partition. Deleting
the partition erases everything on the drive. Option
5 allows you to select the drive you want to use.
