4.7.1 with DOS 5.0 and above
NetWare 386 (version 3.0 and above) and some versions of UNIX that do not share the 1024 cylinder limit of DOS do not require
extended translation to support large disk drives and should not be enabled.
4.7.2 drives with mixed partitions
Use standard translation (not extended translation) on drives formatted with two or more partitions for different operating systems.
Partitions for UNIX and NetWare can be larger than 1 GB when using standard translation.
4.7.3 Using FDISK
To install a new disk, or to re-partition an existing disk, use the FDISK DOS utility as you normally would. The cylinder size increases to
8 MB when you enable extended translation. The size of the partition you request must therefore be a multiple of 8 MB. If you request a
partition size that is not a multiple of 8 MB, FDISK rounds up to the nearest whole multiple of 8 MB.
