6.When the VSN, physical drive number, and cylinder size are correct, select the Start button. When the Format confirmation appears (see Figure 3-2), select OK to perform the requested FMT format operation, or select Cancel to cancel your request.

7.When the format operation completes successfully, the Format complete message is displayed (see Figure 3-3). If the specified volser has already been used, an error message is displayed to notify you (see Figure 3-4). If the format operation could not be started due to an error condition, the Format check error message is displayed. If the format operation did not complete successfully, one of the following error messages is displayed (see Figure 3-5) (n = system error code):

Open error! (n) Seek error! (n) Read error! (n) Write error! (n) Close error! (n)

Open process error on specified volume. Seek process error on specified volume. Read process error on specified volume. Write process error on specified volume. Close process error on specified volume.

8.When you are finished formatting OPEN-xvolumes for use as FXoto volumes, select Close to close the Format panel and exit the FMT utility.

Important Note:

When the message “Format check error” is indicated, the formatting operation has not started and the original condition has been kept. When another message is indicated, the formatting process has already started. The data on the volume has already been initialized. Remove the error condition and format the volume again.

If you execute over the maximum number of cylinders on Windows 2003, the message “Format failed … Format check error” appears after about a minute. It should be clear when formatting has completed.
