7.1.5 Setting Up Your Hard Disk

Express hard-disk setup is an easy way to create the recommended partition arrangement on
your first hard disk, disk 0. Note, however, that express hard-disk setup does not for-
mat the large partition with NTFS. You will have the opportunity to do this during
the Windows NT installation.
Note: AlphaBIOS assigns "disk 0" to the hard disk with the lowest SCSI ID
number on the first bus in your system. If no SCSI devices are present,
AlphaBIOS assigns disk 0 to the first IDE hard drive.
If you have any information on your disk that you want to save, be sure
Caution:
to back it up before using express hard-disk setup.
