Lets you create multiple non-bootable (DOS2) partitions on a
hard disk, after you create a DOS partition. The DOS2 parti-
tions cannot be active (bootable).
The MLPART command is used in conjunction with the MLFOR-
MAT command and the MLPART.8YS device driver. It is
intended for use with hard disks that have a capacity of 35 or
more megabytes. The MS-DOS partition must start in the first
32 megabytes of a hard disk, but DOS2 partitions enable you to
make use of the remainder of the hard disk's space.
Notes and Suggestions
• Appendix D outlines the entire hard disk setup procedure.
Refer to this appendix as necessary when setting up your
hard disk.
• When you enter the MLPART command, the screen displays
the following menu:
1.
Create DDS2 Partitlon
2. Delete DDS2 Partitlon
3. Display Partition Data
4. Select Next Hard Disk Drive
5. Select PreVlOUS Hard D1Sk Drive
Enter Selection --)
Press ESC to eXlt to MSDDS
• You can place DOS2 partitions in any order on the disk. When
you select the Create DOS2 Partition option, MLPART dis-
plays the number of cylinders available on the disk and the
starting cylinder of the available space. It asks you to enter
the partition size (in cylinders) and the starting cylinder
number.
You can have a maximum of four partitions (including the
MS-DOS partition) on a disk, and each can be a maximum of
32 megabytes.
• The remaining options are similar to their FDISK counter-
parts. See the FDISK command for more information.
