Create Volume
Important
Snce you want to create two volumes, ths default sze (maxmum) needs to be re-
duced. Type n a new sze for the 󰘰rst volume. As an example: f you want the 󰘰rst
volume to span the 󰘰rst half of the two dsks, re-type the sze to be half of what s shown
by default. The second volume, when created, wll automatcally span the remander of
two hard drves.
