6-2 Hard Disk Drive Format A hard disk must be formatted before it can be read from or written to. If your hard disk requires this, you should carry out the following steps: Preformat Normally, the preformat utility is supplied by the system manufacturer. IBM provides this utility in the IBM Advanced Diagnostics diskette. Others store this utility within their DOS diskette. Some BlOSes support this function. Partition This process creates DOS partitioning on a preformatted hard disk drive. The DOS command "FDISK" handles this partitioning process. Format The DOS command "FORMAT" verifies the media and moves the system file onto the hard disk drive. The command should be keyed in as: A>FORMAT C:/S Note that you don't need to perform this procedure if you are using other operating systems like Xenix, Novell or Unix. Refer to their manuals for details. Chapter 6: Appendix 9
