I'm about to install a new hard drive.
I have a few questions concerning the procedure:
Step one: Set the new Hard Drive (which will be used for data storage only) to "Slave"
Step two: open computer, connect cables (the right way round) to the HD.
Now I'm not quite certain what to do. I (somehow) have to format the HD, (I would like FAT32). I think the OS is Win98. Should I boot the OS or should I enter DOS and use fdisk?
How do I use fdisk? It was a while ago since I used it last time, and since it's not my own computer that I'll be working with I really don't want to do anything wrong.
From the little experiance I have had with hardware I expect that the new HD will simply appear as D:\ in windows, is this correct or am i totaly lost?
