If the disk media is unformatted, you must format it before you
can create partitions. To do this, follow the instructions on the
window. Read the AFDISK online Help, which explains the
available formatting options.
If you select a removable-media device with a diskette format,
such as a magneto-optical (MO) device, AFDISK asks if you
want to delete the diskette format. Select No, unless you want
to reformat the medium in a different format.
If the disk medium is formatted, AFDISK displays information
about the selected physical drive in the lower left corner of the
window, as shown in the following figure. The following table
shows the translation schemes used by Adaptec SCSI host
adapters:
Drive Capacity Translation Scheme Number of Cylinders
Less than 1 GB 64 heads, 32 sectors per track Equal to the number of
megabytes of available
capacity
Greater than 1 GB 255 heads, 63 sectors per
track One cylinder per 8 MB of
available capacity
Partitions that currently exist on the drive appear in the upper
right corner of the window. (The example shown in the
previous figure has no partitions.) Select a partition with the
Up and Down Arrow keys (
↑
or
↓
). To delete a partition, press
Del and select Yes at the prompt.
