SCSIFMT
SCSIFMT is a low-level formatting utility for SCSI hard disks,
removable media, diskette drives, and magneto-optical drives. You
can also use SCSIFMT to scan a disk drive for surface defects before
you store data on it.
Command Line Options
You can use the following command line option when you start
SCSIFMT from the DOS prompt to format SCSI disk drives that
support more than one logical unit:
scsifmt/L
Running SCSIFMT
Before you run SCSIFMT, make sure the disk drives you want to
format are connected to your host adapter and power is turned on. If
you want to format a removable medium, make sure it is in the disk
drive.
You must exit Windows before running SCSIFMT. You cannot run the
utility from the Windows MS-DOS Prompt.
