Refer to the documentation thatcame with your SCSI software drivers for information on installing the appropriatedrivers and preparing your SCSI hard-disk drive for use.NOTE: On systems with hard-disk drives larger than 2 GB, create a primary partitionof 2 GB and divide the remaining capacity into partitions of 2 GB or less. For example,a system with a 2.5-GB hard-disk drive would have a primary partition of 2 GB (driveC) and a second partition of 500 MB (drive D). Hard-disk drives must be partitionedthis way because MS-DOS–based operating systems (including Windows NT, whenusing a FAT16 file system) do not support drive partitions larger than 2 GB.
