Start NT and enter the Disk Administrator. Here you see the new logical drive
shown as a single unpartitioned/unformatted drive of 81,917 MB (82 GB).
Although there might be only 12 GB of real storage space on the logical drive,
the Online Capacity Expansion feature creates a virtual drive of 81,917 MB.
3. Partition and Format the Drive.
How you partition and format a drive depends on where you installed
Windows NT.
For drives that do not contain the Windows NT operating system, see
"Partition and Format Drives that do not Contain Windows NT" in the
following section.
If Windows NT was installed on a disk array, see the section "Partition
and Format a Drive that Contains Windows NT."
