Step 3 — Format

The DOS command “Format” verifies the media and moves the system

file onto the hard disk drive. The command should be keyed in as:

A> FORMAT C:/S

If you have two partitions, you have to format D in DOS prompt. The

command should be keyed in as:

A> FORMAT D:

If you want to use the partition 1 (drive C) to start DOS, you have to

specify the /S option when formatting the disk. You can use this

system disk to boot your system later.

Note that you don’t need to perform this procedure if you want to use

new partitions for other operating systems like Xenix, Novell or Unix.

Refer to their manuals for details.
