Formatting the Solid State disk
If you use Flash memory or SRAM, it is advisable to format the
Flash/SRAM disk before copying files to it. The DOS command is
as follows:
FORMAT drv: /u ...
where drv = solid state disk drive A, B, C etc.
Sometimes, it is better to assign the sectors and tracks when
formatting SSD. For the different disk size, please use different
assignment, for example:
Format drv:/u/n:9/t:40 (for 360 K disk)
Format drv:/u/n:18/t:80 (for 1.44 M disk)
where drv = solid state disk drive (A, B, or C, etc.)
After formatting, please read the message on the screen carfefully.
DOS will inform you how much disk space is available, the total
disk space, and the bad sectors, etc. If the disk size dow not match
your assignment, please check the SSD setup again.
If you need a bootable disk, you should do the system transfter by
typing:
SYS drv:
or use Format command and /S parameters.
