Using PFORMAT to format an SSD
Formatting SSD1
This section describes how to format SSD1.
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:
PC510 C:\> PFORMAT H
n
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:
PC510 C:\> PFORMAT H1
On the other hand, if you have 1 IDE drive, enter:
PC510 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-510 utility disk. This
file is located in the \UTILS directory.
Note
PFORMAT.EXE will not format IDE/ATA drives.
