and then create logical drives in the extended partition. For more information
about creating partitions, see the documentation that comes with your
operating system.
The following example uses the FDISK and FORMAT commands to partition
and format an extended partition on a secondary hard disk drive.
1. At the DOS prompt, type fdisk and press Enter.
2. FDISK displays the current fixed-disk drive message, containing the current
fixed-disk drive number, above the FDISK menu. The fixed-disk drive
number is not associated with the logical drive letters assigned by FDISK.
Check the current fixed disk drive number to be sure that you partition the
correct hard disk drive.
The default current fixed-disk drive is the fixed-disk drive containing the
active primary partition (drive C). To change the fixed-disk drive number
for the secondary drive, do the following:
a. From the FDISK menu, select Change current fixed disk.
b. From the drive list, select the new drive number.
c. Return to the FDISK menu.
3. Select Create DOS partition or Logical DOS drive, and then press Enter.
4. Select Create Extended DOS Partition, and then press Enter. The default
size is the remaining space on the drive. You must accept the default size to
use the full capacity of your drive.
5. On the Create Logical DOS Drive(s) in the Extended DOS Partition screen,
follow the on-screen instructions to create one or more logical drives within
the extended partition.
6. When you are finished, press Esc to return from the FDISK menu.
7. When prompted, restart your computer and format your logical drives. To
format a logical drive, type format x: (where x is the logical drive letter
assigned by FDISK) at the DOS prompt, and then press Enter.
Copying files to your new primary drive
Note: This procedure is an alternative method for transferring files from one
hard disk to another. If you are not sure about your operating-system
configuration parameters or about applications or files that might be
open, do not use this procedure.
If you are replacing your primary drive, you can install your operating system
and other applications on your new primary drive. As an alternative, you can
use the following procedure to copy your installed operating system and
applications from your old primary drive to your new primary drive.
1. Leave your existing primary hard disk drive installed, and install your new
drive as a second drive.
