How to Use the Fdisk and Format Tools

Before you install your operating system, you must first create a primary partition on the hard disk (disk 1) on your computer, and then format a file system on that partition. The Fdisk tool is an MS-DOS-based tool that you can use to prepare (partition) a hard disk. You can use the Fdisk tool to create, change, delete, or display current partitions on the hard disk, and then each allocated space on the hard disk (primary partition, extended partition, or logical drive) is assigned a drive letter. Disk 1 may contain one extended partition, and a second hard disk may contain a primary or extended partition. An extended partition may contain one or more logical MS-DOS drives.

After you use the Fdisk tool to partition your hard disk, use the Format tool to format those partitions with a file system. The file system File Allocation Table (FAT) allows the hard disk to accept, store, and retrieve data. Windows 95 OEM Service Release 2 (OSR2), Windows 98, Windows 98 Second Edition, Windows Millennium Edition (Me), and Windows 2000 support the FAT16 and FAT32 file systems. When you run the Fdisk tool on a hard disk that is larger than 512 megabytes (MB)

iPower GX: a laptop gaming rig

Laptop gamers aren’t that many, but be sure that if they’re doing it on the laptop, it’s gotta be one of the best. For instance, the iPower GX maybe just what you’re looking for if you want to game on the go:
As such, you’ll find a sharp 1920 x 1200 pixel 17-inch display, ideal for gaming and high-definition media playback. It’s supported by a high-end nVidia GeForce 9800M GTS graphics card, with enough power to play the latest titles with ease.

Styling is similar to existing gaming laptops, with a combination of bright colours, glossy plastics and brushed aluminium. You’ll find a 320GB hard drive included as standard, with future options to include an integrated Blu-ray drive and up to 640GB of storage.

Screenshots-Screen shots
are useful in many ways. For example, if you receive an error message, you can take a screen shot and send your support person an exact replica of the error window, which makes communicating about the error simple. You can also use a screen shot to show someone a Web page without sending them a link. Microsoft uses screen shots to demonstrate how to do tasks within Windows. If you’re helping someone with a computer task or problem, and you can’t be right there with that person, you can use screen shots to illustrate your points through e-mail, instant messaging, or Microsoft Word.

Note: The only times you can’t take a screen shot are before

you log on to your computer and when you are playing a

video in Microsoft Windows Media Player.
To take a screen shot and save it as a picture

1.
Click the window you want to capture. Press ALT+PRINT SCREEN

by holding down the ALT key and then pressing the

PRINT SCREEN key. The PRINT SCREEN key is near

the upper right corner of your keyboard. (Depending on

Note: You can take a screen shot of your entire desktop

rather than just a single window by pressing the PRINT

SCREEN key without holding down the ALT key.
