Formatting Media
NetWare's nwconfig.nlm program lets you optionally format a hard-disk drive for use with NetWare. If you are using SCSI drives, the program allows you to low-
level format several SCSI drives simultaneously. The NetWare format procedure is not the same as using fdisk or format under MS-DOS

.
Using Removable Media
The adpu160.ham driver module fully supports removable-media disk drives, including magneto-optical drives. Removable media is treated as a standard SCSI hard-
disk drive, with some exceptions:
l The driver only recognizes and registers media with 512 bytes per sector.
l NetWare allows you to mount or dismount the media and lock or unlock the media.
These removable media options are supported by NetWare's monitor.nlm program.
To set up the removable media, perform the following steps:
1. Load monitor.nlm to display the various options.
2. Select Disk Information.
All system hard-disk drives appear.
3. Select the removable-media device.
Drive status options appear as shown in Table C-1 .
NOTICE: You should not use NetWare to format a hard-disk drive that contains partitions for other operating systems because that information may be
destroyed.
