Windows has found a CD-Rom. Press enter to continue. If you have SCSI devices you will have to hit “S” to specify.

Now the “Components” menu. The standard setting that NT now picks should be ok,  make changes if needed else hit “ENTER” to  continue.

Win NT has now detected your hard drive. This, if it has been setup before will have to be deleted if you are looking to install a Fresh operating system. Press “D” to delete the partition that is highlighted.

****MAKE SURE YOU HAVE BACKED UP BEFORE DELETING ANYTHING****

Actually there is another last chance, which appears in the next menu. Press “L” and the contents of that drive/partition are gone.

You will now be asked size of Hard drive, default is Max space on your hard drive.

As we are going to use FAT16 you will set up the drive to any size below 2048mb. Click enter when happy with size.

The partition is setup. We recommend that you leave any remaining space until later, when in windows, otherwise you can setup the remaining space by following the steps we just did for the main drive.

You will now be asked how you wish the drive to be formated, we recommend FAT for most users, for more security use NTFS.

Setup will now format your Hard drive partition
