Command Feature
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.
You must exit Windows before running SCSIFMT. You cannot run the
utility from the Windows MS-DOS prompt.
“Running SCSIFMT” on page A-7 .
SCSIFMT/L You can use this command when you start SCSIFMT from the DOS
prompt to format SCSI disk drives that support more than one logical unit.
AFDISK AFDISK is a formatting utility for SCSI hard disks, removable media, and
magneto-optical drives. You can use AFDISK to:
Format SCSI hard disk drives
Format removable media in standard hard disk format, OS/2 floppy
format, or DOS/V format
Add or delete partitions created with the DOS FDISK utility
Delete non-DOS partitions
Use AFDISK, not the DOS FDISK utility, to partition SCSI disk drives that
are not managed by the host adapter BIOS (basic input/output system).
Use the DOS FDISK utility, not AFDISK, to format or partition devices that
are controlled by the host adapter BIOS.
Partitions created with AFDISK can be accessed when you boot your
computer with the ASPIDISK driver. Partitions created with AFDISK
are compatible with DOS partitions.
After you partition a disk drive with AFDISK, run the DOS FORMAT
utility on the device before you use it. This helps to ensure that the
disk media is free of defects.
