HARD DISK SETUP
The procedure for setting up your hard disk varies according to
which version of the MS-DOS operating system you are using.
Follow the steps outlined below to set up your hard disk for the
version of the MS-DOS operating system you are using:
MS-DOS Version 2.11
All of the MS-DOS 2.11 hard disk setup programs are provided
on the Hard Disk Utilities diskette that comes with the Hard
Disk Controller.
1.
Use the HSECT program to hard format the hard disk.
2. Use the FDISK program to partition the hard disk for MS-
DOS. (Note that multiple MS-DOS partitions are not
allowed.)
3. Use the HFORMAT program to soft format the MS-DOS
partition and make it bootable. Use the IE switch to enter
bad track information.
MS-DOS Version 3.2
Most of the MS-DOS 3.2 hard disk setup programs are provided
on the Supplemental Programs diskette. The FORMAT program
is provided on the MS-DOS/BASIC system diskette.
Note: Do not use the hard disk setup programs on the
Hard Disk Utilities diskette with Version 3.2 MS-
DOS. You do not need the Hard Disk Utilities diskette
at all if you are using the MS-DOS Version 3.2 operat-
ing system.
1.
Use the HSECT program to hard format the hard disk.
HSECT prompts for the drive to be formatted.
2. Use the FDISK program to partition the hard disk for MS-
DOS. Multiple MS-DOS partitions are allowed.
3. Use the FORMAT program to soft format the DOS partition
and make it bootable. (Use the IS switch to copy the hidden
system files to the hard disk.)
