AlphaBIOS Console 3-27
To format a FAT partition
1.
Start AlphaBIOS and select Hard Disk Setup. Press Enter.
2.
Select the partition to be formatted (see
➊ in Figure 3–18).
3.
Press F6. A dialog box is displayed, asking whether to perform a quick or
standard format (see
➋). If you select Quick Format, the formatting is
completed immediately, but no bad sectors are mapped. If you select
Standard Format, a dialog box similar to that in Figure 3–19 is displayed
while the drive is formatted, showing the progress of the formatting.
Standard formatting maps bad sectors.
4.
Select a format method and press Enter.
