Answer» I have TWO partitions C and D on a 2.1 GB h disk
At C: is my OS win98
I want to Divide my D: drive (1 GB in size) into two partitions of 500 MB each.
1) Is it possible to run Fdisk from windows dos prompt?
2)I am seeing options like:
1. Create DOS partition or Logical DOS Drive 2. Set active partition 3. Delete partition or Logical DOS Drive 4. Display partition information
-- Which one to select here, to partion D:, after formatting it?
(Note: I want to keep my c drive intact)
You have two partitions - C: - & - D:
To construct this in the first place you WOULD have had to make a Primary DOS drive - C: - and set it active (A) then make an Extended DOS drive and then a Logical DOS drive which is your drive - D:
Now that you want to split this in two using fdisk you should remove all data from drive D: and then, using fdisk, delete drive D: and make a new Logical drive D: of 500Mb and a further Logical drive E: using the remainder of the drive space.
After making the new Logical drives D: & E: you need to press ther Esc key until you have exited the fdisk program and SEE a Message asking you to re-boot.
Reboot and start formatting the two new drives.
A:\>format d: , and press Enter
A:\>format e: , and press Enter
Alternatively you could use a Partition Resizing program but that will cost you whereas fdisk is 'free'.[size=18]Thank You,Mac [/size]Why bother on a 2.1gig drive
