Format Disk
Use this command to prepare a data disk for use. A disk must be
formatted before it can be used. Use this command, for example, if you
need to create a new Boot Files disk or Algorithm disk for extended
algorithms, Keep Current algorithms, or custom algorithms.
To format a disk, follow these steps:
1.
Insert the disk to be formatted into either disk drive.
2.
Press S
PACE
to select the drive that the new disk will be in when
formatting.
3.
Move the cursor to the Disk Integrity Check field and select whether
or not you want UniSite-xpi to perform a disk integrity check. If
enabled, the check is performed while the disk is being formatted,
and looks for bad sectors on the disk. Although this test does take
more time to complete, it helps ensure the integrity of the newly
formatted disk.
To enable the disk integrity check, press Y. To disable the disk
integrity check, press N.
4.
When you are ready to format the disk, type Y at the Are You Sure?
prompt and press E

If you are not ready to format a disk, press F2 to return to the File
Operations menu.

to abort.
CAUTION: Do NOT format a UniSite-
xpi Algorithm disk or System disk
sent to you by Data I/O, because the original contents of the
disk will be lost.
To format a disk for use as an Algorithm or System disk, press E

If you do not want to format a new Algorithm disk or System disk,
press C

+ Z.
