Now your 4GB disk is a clean slate. You have to partition it - AFAIK
each logical drive can't exceed 2GB so you'll need 3 partitions.
According to the DOS FDisk, you make the whole disk a single extended
partition and within it create logical partitions. Don't leave any
primary partitions on this disk.
As to the 250MB disk, repartition it (LL format it, too but that's not
necessary) so the C: drive (the primary partition) is a lot bigger than
25MB.
BTW, I made a mistake in describing how to activate the system routines
on a Bermuda 77. You wait for the cursor to go from the upper left
screen to the upper right, not the other way around and then hit
Ctrl-Alt-Ins.
