7. When partitioning is complete, FDISK reboots your com-

puter. Proceed to “Drive Formatting.”

Note. If you are adding a second drive to your system, you can

run FDISK from Windows. Click the

á

Start button.

Select Run... Then type fdisk and click OK.

Drive formatting

Caution. Use the correct drive letters so that you

do not

format a drive that already contains data.

At the A: prompt, type format

x:/s, where x is the letter of your

first new partition. Repeat the format process for all the new par-
titions you have created.

Note. From FDISK in Windows, it is not necessary to add the /s

to the format command because these system files are
automatically added.

Loading the Operating System

1. Boot your computer from your Windows startup diskette with

the Windows CD loaded.

At the prompt, type

x:\setup, where x is the drive letter of your

CD-ROM drive. Continue with the Windows setup instructions.
