Managing SSDs

WARNING!

Reformatting SSD1 requires the use of a floppy or a hard
disk to restore system files.

1. Define the SSD order with the SETSSD command. Since the command

input varies depending upon the parameters you need to enter, see the
SETSSD command in the Software utilities appendix.

2. To begin formatting SSD1, execute PFORMAT as follows:

PC500 C:\> PFORMAT Hn

where n is the hard drive sequence number. This number includes IDE
drives and SSDs.

For example, if you have 0 IDE drives and SETSSD shows:

[HDDs] SSD0 SSD1

then enter:

PC500 C:\> PFORMAT H1

On the other hand, if you have 1 IDE drive, enter:

PC500 C:\> PFORMAT H2

Note

If the drive had not been formatted previously, reset the system before
accessing the drive. This allows DOS to recognize the drive and add a
letter designation to it.

Note

PFORMAT.EXE must be downloaded from the PC-500 utility disk. This
file is located in the \UTILS directory.

Note

PFORMAT.EXE will not format IDE/ATA drives.

≡

Using SYS to make an SSD bootable

Adding operating system startup files (using SYS)

To add the system files, issue the following operating systems command:

C:\> SYS d:

where d: specifies the drive letter.

For example, if your system has 1 IDE drive, and SETSSD shows
“[HDDs] SSD0 SSD1,” then SSD1 should be drive E:. To SYS this drive,
use the “SYS d:” command.

Note

SYS.COM must be downloaded from the PC-500 utility disk. This file is
located in the \DOS directory.
