Where:
aaa
represents the largest free space on the drive.
bbb
represents the maximum size of a partition. If
the drive is less than 32 megabytes in capacity,
bbb will equal the aaa value; if the drive is larger
than 32 megabytes, bbb will represent the drive
space equivalent to the 32 megabyte limit
imposed by DOS.
ccc
represents the number of cylinders you want in
the partition; to make sure the drive can self ­
boot, do not exceed the suggested ccc value.
ddd
represents the starting cylinder of the partition;
since you are partitioning the first partition
where yout DOS system files will be stored, the
ddd value should be O.
