Quick ? On Installing New Maxtor HD

[olds]

Should I use the Max Blast floppy to fdisk/format or just do it in DOS?

Maxblast is easier but fdisk is too if you're comfortable with using it. No real differences it's just that Maxblast takes you through it step by step.

Thanks, I've done DOS, I'll try Max blast

Maxblast makes it much easier. It is a graphicl interface and you can play around with the partition info until you get what you want. It also formats alot quicker than in DOS.

Good Luck

If you are installing Win2K, you can let the setup program take care of partitioning and formating.
