Configuring PC drives

To work in the PC environment, you need to tell the PC where PC software

and files are stored. You do this by assigning PC drive letters to storage areas

using the PC Setup control panel. You can assign drive C or D to a

PC-formatted SCSI hard drive attached to your Macintosh, or to a drive

container—a file you create on a Macintosh hard drive that acts as a virtual

PC drive. You can also use a drive container created by SoftPC or

SoftWindows

™

; however, that drive container cannot be bootable.

Note: A hard drive or drive container only boots when assigned to drive C in

the PC Setup control panel.

Creating a single partition/bootable drive container

To create a single partition/bootable drive container for drive C or D, follow

these steps:

1 Open the PC Setup control panel.

2Choose New Drive File from the C: or D: pop-up menu.

3 In the dialog box that appears, choose a location for the drive container.

4Type a name and a size for the container.

You can make the container as small as 2 MB or as large as 1023 MB. The

amount of space you need depends on the software you want to install. If you

are installing DOS and a few small applications, you’ll need about 100 MB. If

you are installing Microsoft Windows, you’ll need at least 150 MB. If you are

installing Microsoft Windows 95, you’ll need at least 200 MB.

IMPORTANT

Once a drive container is created, its size cannot be changed.

Before choosing a size for your drive container, decide which PC operating

system and applications you want to run. Check the documentation that came

with the software to estimate how much space you’ll need; then allow some

extra room for applications. If you still run out of space on the drive

container, you can create another drive container and assign it to drive D.
