I just formatted my hard drive and I want to partition it. It's an 8.4 GB drive and I want a 1.0 GB C drive and a 7.4 GB D drive. Anyone out there know how? Thanks. 🙂

EDIT: my motherboard is an ASUS A7V.
 
Well now that would mean telling us the file system and OS(s) you were were intending on using. If you just want to install win98/95 on that hard drive then you can use fdisk. The c: drive must be a DOS primary partition and be active and foramtted in either fat16 or fat32. the d: drive must be a dos logical drive in teh dos extended partition and be formatted in fat32. if you're talkinga bout nt4 then teh drive c: can be a dos primary drive and be formatted in fat16 or be a ntfs drive taht is not dos compatible. then that would leave the d: drive as a ntfs file system partition. if its win2k then you can do fat16, fat32 or ntfs for the c: drive and the d: drive will have to be fat32 or ntfs.

for creating dos (fat16/fat32) partitions use fdisk supplied with a home-made win98 bootdisk (I only say this since one of the OEM REAL boot disks supplied by M$ did not have that option nor did it have format.com)

for creating nt4 or win2k partitions u can use either disk administrator or the install program for creating partitions and installing an os with it.
