Problems with files and disks

I can’t eject my floppy disk or CD when I am in the PC environment.

To eject a floppy disk in the PC environment, press x-E. To eject a CD in the
PC environment, press x-Y.

If you are unable to eject the disk using the keyboard combination, the disk
may be in use. Close all open applications in both environments and then try
to eject the disk from the Mac OS environment.

I want to assign a drive container to the C or D drive, but I can’t find the drive container
in the dialog box.

The drive container may be assigned to another drive letter. Check the C: and
D: pop-up menus.

The drive container may be on an external hard drive. Make sure that the
drive is connected correctly and the power is on. If it is not connected, shut
down the computer, reconnect it, and then restart.

I want my drive container to have more than one partition.

Create a new drive container following the instructions in “Creating a
Multiple Partition/Bootable Drive Container” in Chapter 7. Initialize the drive
container in DOS using the FDISK and FORMAT commands.

I can’t share all the folders I want.

Make sure that you have sufficient drive letters assigned in your
CONFIG.SYS file’s LASTDRIVE statement. The PC reserves the letters A–E;
other letters are available to be assigned to shared folders or volumes.

Novell NetWare may reassign drive letters even if you have assigned them to
shared folders. Try reserving additional drive letters and reassigning your
shared folders.

I inserted a floppy disk in the PC environment and it was ejected.

The disk may have been formatted for the Mac OS. Switch to the Mac OS and
try inserting the disk again.
