Step 3 — 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
if you have two partition, you have to format D in DOS prompt. The
command should be keyed in as:
A> FORMAT D:
If you want to use the partition 1 (drive C) to start DOS, you have to
specify the /S option when formatting the disk. You can use this
system disk to boot your system later.
Note that you don’t need to perform this procedure if you want to use
new partition for other operating systems like Xenix, Novell or Unix.
Refer to their manuals for details.
