3Choose a location for the drive container.
The drive container can be on any hard disk attached to the Macintosh. At
least 40 MB of free space is recommended.
It’s best to locate the container at the root level of your hard disk (not in any
folders or subfolders) so that you can find it easily.
4Type a name for the drive container.
You can type up to 31 characters. Use a descriptive name such as PC Drive or
PC Container so that you can easily identify it.
When you finish, press the Tab key to move to the Drive Size field.
5 Type a size (in MB) for the drive container.
At least 40 MB is recommended. The exact amount of space you need
depends on what application programs you intend to install for DOS and
Windows. Check the documentation that came with the programs to see
how much space you’ll need, then allow some extra room for growth.
(The software included with your DOS-compatible computer requires
about 25 MB.)
6Select Initialize Drive File to automatically initialize the drive container with a single
partition.
If you want more than one partition, you can leave the box unselected and use
the FDISK and FORMAT programs after you’ve installed DOS. (See your
DOS manual for instructions and information about the FDISK and
FORMAT commands and their options.)
