Appendix B Using the CompactFlash Disk
Working with a CompactFlash Disk
Note If you order a spare CompactFlash Disk, it is shipped blank; therefore, you must format it before you can use it.
Use the following procedure to format a new CompactFlash Disk using the format command. (The procedure assumes you have already booted your system.)
Step 1 Insert the CompactFlash Disk into slot 0 using the procedures in the “Removing and Installing the CompactFlash Disk” section on page
Step 2 Use the format disk0: command to format the CompactFlash Disk in slot 0 as follows: Router# format disk0:
Format operation may take a while. Continue? [confirm]

Using the mkdir Command
To create a directory on the CompactFlash Disk, use the mkdir command. The following example shows how to create a directory called daily_dir on the CompactFlash Disk in slot 0, and then verify that it was created:
System# mkdir disk0:daily_dir
Created | dir disk0:daily_dir |
| ||
System# | dir |
