Hi,

I am getting ready to install Windows 98 on a 1ghz P3 with 512mb Ram

system.

I have two hard drives a 10GB and a 40GB.

How should I partion them?

In FDISK I noticed options for DOS, Non-Dos, and logical, I am not sure
which to use for the second hard drive.

Also which should be my primary drive the 10GB or the 40GB?

Thanks for any advice and opinions!!!


If the drives are already partitioned , to re-use them...just format them...

if they are blank...run fdisk

When you run fdisk say "yes" (y)
to enable large drive support... That will allow the drives to be formatted
as fat32

then just create one primary partition on each drive


Once the drives are partitioned , reboot the computer and format each...


How you use them is a matter for personal taste
