How to Partition the Hard Disk under Windows 98,SE Windows comes with a built-in utility called fdisk. This program is used to partition a large hard drive into smaller virtual drives. One advantage of having two smaller virtual drives is the decreased downtime while running applications such as ScanDisk or Defrag. To use fdisk to partition a hard drive, follow these directions: 1. To open fdisk, left-click the Start menu, select Run or Hold, and release the Windows button + R. 2.
Create multiple partitions 1. If you pressed N, then you're going to create multiple partitions. To do this, you'll need to set the size of the new partition. This is done by entering a value next to "Enter partition size in Mbytes or percent of disk space to create a Primary DOS Partition." For example, if your new hard drive is 20GB and you'd like to create two 10GB drives, entering 50% will do just fine.
How many partitions do you have? 1. To verify the two new partitions were created successfully, select 5 to "Change current fixed disk drive" and hit Enter. 2. You should see all the drives on your computer, including the two you just created. 3. Hit Esc twice to exit fdisk. 4. You must restart your computer before the new partitions will be recognized.
