No Space To Create A Dos Partition Error
one giant data dump. Dividing your drive into multiple partitions makes mutitasking easier. Keeping different types of data such as work documents, mp3s, video files, etc in a partition separate from the operating system can greatly increase your computer's performance. And if you are planning on using multiple operating systems then you will absolutely need multiple partitions. What Is Partitioning ? A partition can be assumed as a container, like one drawer of a file cabinet. Each partition uses a file system to store and name data. Windows 98 used FAT32 which allowed greater maximum partition sizes and stored data more efficiently than the FAT16 file system of DOS and Windows 95. Windows NT introduced NTFS file system, which offers better data security and efficient memory handling. Windows 2000 and XP can read and write to both NTFS and FAT32 partitions. Partitioning Your Hard Drive Using FDISK Follow these simple steps after runnning FDISK command in command prompt to partition your harddrive: First, to view a list of all drives available on your system select (5). Press (4) to view partition information on the drive, then select the new hard drive. Select (1) to create a partition, then on the next screen choose (1) to create a primary partition on that drive. Select (y) if you wish to use all the space on the drive for this one partition(which we don't want to), or (n) if you wish to make more than one partition on the drive now or later. If you selected (n), enter the amount of space you wish to use for the primary partition. By selecting (n) it means that you do want to create multiple partitions, you must now make a secondary partition using the rest of the free space. Press (1) to create another partition, then (2) to create an extended DOS partition. While it gives you an option to use less than full amount of space on the disk here but any space which is not allocated now can no longer be used by FDISK unless you erase the existing partitions. So accept the default (maximum available) size for the extended partition, then press ‘ESC.' This will take you to the menu for creating logical drives in the extended partition. To create a logical drive which are represented by drive C: or D: etc, simply fill in the amount of space you require the drive to have. After you finished performing all this procedure, Exit from FDISK, reboot to windows. Partitioning Your Hard Drive In Windows 2000/XP To start partitioning in Windows 20

The problem i have is setting up the partition. I keep getting the error "no space to create a DOS partition". The thing is i have no no space partitions. so far i have everything for this partition and these games in a file folder, but the folder is read only. I can uncheck the read only box, but after i close the properties window, it becomes checked again. there's no error message or anything like that, it just won't change. I have full permissions, and am an administrator. I've googled but i haven't found anything that worked. i opened no space to command prompt and used the attrib command but it also failed. I made sure user account control was off also. can someone help me with this? if it's relevant, the folder i have all the games and .img files is called "games", and is on the desktop. I'm following this guide, trying to set up windows 98se. I also was using this video.                         I am not registered 02-06-2013, 05:46 AM #2 dosraider Dismembered.

(no pun intended, but it shows from your post you have a lot to learn, it's possible to learn, but will take time, and no, there is no 'easy' way .....) Best advise is: don't use dosbox for this, get yourself VPC2007. Take it or leave it. And I'm outta here. __________________ Not a member of The Victorious People's Shoutbox Liberation Army.

This is because if you don't know how to use it, then it's better to avoid using it to prevent you from data loss. You can use a third part tool to do that instead, which will give you the same results. Use EaseUS Partition Master (Free Edition), or visit the Best Free Partition Management Software page to have other tools. In case you still prefer to do it the long way, using diskpart, follow these steps : Open the Command Prompt as Administrator. Type diskpart and hit Enter. Once you enter to the diskpart screen type list disk and hit Enter. Now a list of the disks will be shown, type select disk x (the X is the disk number that has an unallocated space) and hit Enter. Now, type create partition primary size=x (The X is the number that you got from the Free column on the previous step) and hit Enter. After the creating
