assign the remaining drive space (878MB) to and Extended DOS partition.
12. After pressing <Enter>, press <esc.>. FDISK will inform you that there are no
Logical Drives assigned. Define the size you wish or press <Enter> to accept
the default. If you press <Enter> the entire (878MB) capacity will be assigned
as drive D:.
13. Type the amount you wish drive D to be assigned. For our purposes we have
chosen to assign drive D 400MB, so we type 400. Press <Enter>. FDISK will
display the information for drive D: and inform you of the remaining capacity
(478MB).
14. Press <Enter> to assign the remaining capacity to drive E:. All Extended DOS
partitions have been assigned to logical drives.

You will be informed that you need to reboot the system. Press <esc.> to exit
FDISK. At the DOS prompt, press Ctrl+Alt+Del to reboot the system.

segments of the hard drive.
17. At the DOS prompt, type
Format C:/S/U and press <Enter>.
(There must be a space between the word “format” and “C”)
This will format the primary partition C, and copy all system files to the
primary drive. If you have created more than one partition you must format
them as well. To format the D drive for example, at the DOS prompt type:
Format D:/U and press <Enter>
(There must be a space between the word “format” and “D”.)
18. Continue until all partitions have been formatted. At the completion of Format
Disk, you will be returned to the DOS prompt. Refer to the following section
