Drive formatting

!

Caution. Use the correct drive letters so that you do not

format a drive that already contains data.

At the A: prompt, type format x: /s, where x is the letter of your first new partition. Repeat the format process for all the new par- titions you have created.

Note. From FDISK in Windows 95 or Windows 98, it is not nec- essary to add the /s to the format command because these system files are automatically added.

After you format your drive, it is ready to use.

You’re Done!
