Step 2: Format the drive
Assuming that the driver loaded successfully (either as a device driver or as a
BIOS extension), run the PFORMAT.EXE utility as follows:
PFORMAT D: /C /V
The /C confirms the format, and the /V switch says to put a volume label on
the drive. When the format completes, give the drive a volume label. This
should complete the process of making the RFA into a Flash File System. If
you are going to use the RFA as a bootable device, the system must be
transferred to the RFA device. This can be done by using the DOS ’SYS’
command.
The RFA should now be set up for use as a DOS Flash File System. The standard
DOS copy, delete, and other utilities for file creation/modification should function
correctly.
