FDISK This program will let you create/delete partitions. Restart in DOS mode and you will find the file in C:\Windows\Command\ Careful when using this program, you can cause lots of problems.

Language is confusing you. You want to create a new drive LETTER? You use FDISK to do this but you cannot unless there is still room on your hard drive and most people use all the room. You first remove all the old partitions with FDISK. Then you divide your hard drive into two things, a Primary DOS partition which you make active and an extended partition. You generally make the extended partition as large as all the room you have left on the drive. In this extended partition you create logical drives which are individual drive letters. There is almost never any left over space, so if you wanted more drive letters on your existing drive you would have to repartition. Say you have a C: drive of 2.1 gigabytes, and that is the whole drive. Although you would lose all your data which you could back up somewhere first, you could FDISK to remove all partitions one after another. Only having one in the example, this would be simple. You would start from scratch with FDISK by selecting a size for the primary DOS Partition. Say you make it 800 Megabytes. You now select the one partition you have made as the active partition. It is C: where all your boot files will go. Mow you make all the rest into an extended partition of 1300 Megabytes. Say you were doing this to get 3 or 4 drive letters. Well it would be nice to have a drive about the size of C; for backup and it would be nice to have a drive as large as possible for Cd-Recording. This happens to be about 730 Megabytes for 650 Mbyte CDs when wasted space is taken into account. So you make logical drive D: 730 Megabytes This leaves about 570 Megabytes for one or more logical drives. So we make the rest into logical drive E: After we format C: D: and E: We will have three drive letters on Our hard drive. So the short answer is you FDISK and FORMAT the drives you have made.
