Hi,

Just working my way through the Operating system objectives.
2.1 "disk preperation order (conceptual disk preperation)"
What would you take this to mean?

I guess your looking at something along the lines of

*Configure the actual hard drive in the PC
*Partition it
*Format your partition
*Install your chosen OS.

If I'm not wrong, then I'm probably at least over-simplifying the objective, buut that's basically what I would take from you question.

HTH

 

Hi,

Thanks. Sometimes it is good just to hear someone elses opinion

 

I install Windows 2000, 2003, and XP fairly often and the installation disk does all that for you. I created a Windows 98 VM today to practice a network upgrade and had forgotten about the whole 98 book floppy routine and using fdisk to create partition. I haven't had to do that in quite awhile. Guess I needed the practice.
