Press the End key ("1" on the keypad) or E key (which key depends on the BIOS version) when you are satisfied with your choice, The Bridgeboard will reboot. Follow the controller and drive manufacturer's procedure for "low-level formatting" or "prepping" the hard drive. This ig *not* MS-DOS FDISK or FORMAT. Some controllers and/or drives do not need this step. If the procedure requires that you run MS-DOS DEBUG, you'll find it on the MS-DOS 4.01 "Operating System 1" disk. NOTE : The MS-DOS INSTALL program will need a blank floppy of the same type as the MS-DOS INSTALL disk. - Insert the MS-DOS 4. 01 INSTALL disk into the Bridgeboard's A: floppy drive. - Reboot the Bridgeboard (press CTRL+ALT+DEL) . - Follow the directions on the screen, See the MS-DOS 4.01 manual for further information. NOTE: If your Amiga does not have a hard drive and you wish to let the Amiga use part of the PC's hard drive : - When you get to the section which partitiong your hard drive (the FDISK program) , do not assign all of the disk's space to MS-DOS. The NON-DOS portion which is left over will be available for partitioning as an Amiga volume when you run the ADISK program later in this procedure. - Proceed with STEP 3. STEP 2B: If you do not have a PC-compatible hard drive and controller for use by the Bridgeboard, but your Amiga has a hard drive and you would like to create a fake autobooting MS-DOS C: drive on the Amiga's hard drive: - Bring the Workbench screen to the front. - Open a CLI or SHELL by double clicking on the SHELL or CLI icon in the Workbench drawer, and increase the size of it's window to full screen size. - Decide which Amiga hard drive volume to use. You'll typically want at least 10 megabytes of space for the fake MS-DOS C: drive to allow for installing DOS and a fair number of applications. The fake C: drive can be up to 32 megabytes in size. To find the names of your available volumes and the amount of space left on them, type : info The number in the "Free" column is how many blocks (512 byte chunks) are free on that volume. There are 2048 blocks to a megabyte. See the table below.
