Computer Assembly and Disk Formatting Guide

The document describes formatting a new hard disk drive in Windows. It involves partitioning and formatting the disk using FDISK and FORMAT commands from the Windows boot disk. The disk is first partitioned by creating a primary DOS partition using all available space. Then the partition table is written to update the system. Finally, the disk must be restarted for the changes to take effect.
