The format
is
now complete.
Examples
FORMAT
(ENTER)
prompts you for the drive number, the diskette name, the master
password, the density,
and
number of cylinders, and checks to see if
the destination disk
is
already formatted.
FORMAT : 1
(NAME=
"DATA3"
IMPW=
"SECRET")
(ENTER)
prompts you for the
DEN
and CYL parameters, and checks
to
see if
the disk
in
Drive 1 is already formatted. The disk
in
Drive 1 is
assigned the name DATA3 and the master password SECRET.
FORMAT
:0
(NAME="FILES"
I
MPW="FILE01"

(ENTER)
When you insert the destination disk
in
Drive
0,
the system checks to
see if the disk
is
already formatted. When the message:
Load
SYSTEM
disf,
(ENTER)
appears, insert the system disk
in
Drive 0 and the format
is
completed.
FORMAT : 1
(QUERY=NO
lABS)
(ENTER)
formats the disk
in
Drive 1 (with the default options) even if the disk
already contains data. Because
you
specified the ABS parameter, you
don't have the opportunity to abort the FORMAT (if the disk is already
formatted and its master password is PASSWORD).
Error Conditions
After you enter a format command and before the actual formatting
begins, the system checks the destination diskette to see if it is
already formatted.
If the disk
is
formatted and its MPW
is
PASSWORD, the following
message appears:
Disk
contains
data
--
NAME=disk
name
DATE=mm/dd/yy
Are
YOU
sure
YOU
want
to
forMat
it?
Press
00
to abort the FORMAT or
CD
to
continue. If you specified
the ABS parameter
in
the command line, you see the DISK
CONTAINS DATA message, but you are not prompted to abort the
format.
