5. Use the up and down cursor keys to move between the
Enter number of cylinders in partition and Enter starting
cylinder of partition fields. Enter the values you want, and
press the [F8] key to create the partition.
6. The new partition will appear in the Partitions menu.
Now that a DOS partition exists on your drive, press
[F9] to return to the Partitioning Main Menu, then press
[F4], Activate partition, to make the partition bootable
from DOS. You can proceed to logically format your
drive by pressing the [FlO] key to return to the DISK
Main Menu.
NOTE: You must activate your Primary DOS partition for
the drive to be bootable from DOS!
If your drive has a capacity greater than 32 megabytes,
you have two options available to make the rest of the
drive usable by DOS: create an Extended DOS partition,
or create a Super DOS partition.
6.3.2 Creating Extended DOS Partition
An Extended DOS partition contains one or more "sub­
partitions" called Logical drives, with each Logical drive up
to 32 megabytes in size. For DOS 2.0 to 3.2, you will need
the EVDISK.SYS device driver to access these logical drives;
for PC-DOS 3.3, DOS will automatically recognize the extra
logical drives without the EVDISK.SYS device driver.
