With the initialization of the storage medium information about the glue-logic is
saved twice:
1. It is completely stored in the FAT: This file information is used by DOS /
Windows.
2. It is stored in the sector 2 and in the file
FILEINFO.DAT
:
This information is used for the file management on the
ADwin
system.
In sector 2 (absolute) the start and end sectors are saved, in the file
FILEINFO.DAT
the current, relative write and read positions of the gen-
erated files.
The initialization does not physically change data on the storage medium. But
data can be lost when the file size is changed.
If the contents of the storage medium is displayed by using a reading device
(e.g. Explorer), all files are displayed with their file size (this is the information
of the FAT).
