: i have bought a new hard disk. how do i make partitions on it. and begin using it. please provide me step-by-step procedure, if possible. : : 1.Find a startup disk and boot from this 2.run FDISK (fdisk is very simple to use but have in mind these: a.If there is any old partition delete it first. b.You may have only 1 primary partition with fdisk (you don't need another except if you are planning to install more than 1 O.S) ) 3.Reboot from the startup disk and format the H.D (if you have more than one partitions then format them all) 4.install your O.S

a.If there is any old partition delete it first.
b.You may have only 1 primary partition with fdisk
(you don't need another except if you are planning
to install more than 1 O.S) )
3.Reboot from the startup disk and format the H.D (if you have more than one partitions then format them all)
4.install your O.S
