Using the Fdisk and Format Utilities (FAT 16)
Using EZ-Drive to partition and format your hard drive is
faster, easier, and safer than Fdisk and Format.
If you choose not to use EZ-Drive, follow the steps outlined in
this section to manually partition and format your hard drive
for use with these operating systems.
DOS 5.0 and above
Windows 3.1x and Windows for Workgroups
Windows 95
IMPORTANT. Before proceeding, be sure your system BIOS
supports the full capacity of all hard drives in your system.
These operating systems cannot recognize drive capacities larger
than 528 MB without either using a translating BIOS or
EZ-Drive.
Your installation procedure depends on whether you are
replacing an existing (single or master) drive, or adding your
new Western Digital drive as a second hard drive.
