3.7.2 drives with mixed partitions
Use standard translation (not extended translation) on drives formatted with two or more partitions
for different operating systems. Partitions for UNIX and NetWare can be larger than 1 GB when
using standard translation.
3.7.3 Using FDISK
To install a new disk, or to re-partition an existing disk, use the FDISK DOS utility as you normally
would. The cylinder size increases to 8 MB when you enable extended translation. The size of the
partition you request must therefore be a multiple of 8 MB. If you request a partition size that is not
a multiple of 8 MB, FDISK rounds up to the nearest whole multiple of 8 MB.
