To prepare the hard-disk drive for IntranetWare installation, you must create a utility partition on the drive, create the primary MS-DOS partition, format the MS-DOS partition, create the c:\dos and c:\scsi subdirectories, and install certain system files. You do not need to create a utility partition if you are installing IntranetWare on your system for the first time. Dell shipped your system with the utility partition already created on the hard-disk drive; you can proceed to create the primary MS-DOS partition on the drive. If you are reinstalling IntranetWare, you will need to delete the utility partition and re-create it. Follow these steps to prepare the hard-disk drive using the Dell Server Assistant and Dell IntranetWare Support CDs: 1. Perform the following steps to create a utility partition: a. Insert the Dell Server Assistant CD into the server's CD-ROM drive and turn on (or reboot) the system. b. From the Dell Server Assistant CD Main Menu, select Create utility partition and press . c. At the Welcome screen, select OK and press . d. At the message Installation completed successfully, select OK and press . e. Select Exit and press . f. At the Exit Confirmation dialog box, remove the Dell Server Assistant CD, insert the Dell IntranetWare Support CD, select OK, and press to reboot the server. 2. From the Dell IntranetWare Support Menu, type 1 to select Create a primary DOS partition. 3. From the Hard-Drive Preparation Menu, type 2 to select Run FDISK in automated mode. NOTE: Dell recommends running the fdisk utility in automated mode unless you need to specify a different size for the primary MS-DOS partition. Running the fdisk utility in automated mode creates a 25-MB partition. 4. At the Warning screen, read the information and type y to continue. The program partitions and then reboots the system.
