Note
Resides the method described below, you can also format diskettes using the
Epson MENU utility. This program is easy to use because it lets you select
operations from a menu. For more information, see the section on the
MENU utility later in this chapter.
Formatting diskettes with a hard disk and one diskette drive
1. If necessary, log on to drive C. If you are not in the directory where the
file FORMAT.COM is stored (usually the root directory), change to that
directory.
2. When you see the C > prompt, type the following and press Enter:
FORMAT A :
You see this prompt:
Insert diskette for drive A:
and strike ENTER when ready
3. Insert the diskette you want to format into drive A and press Enter.
4. When the diskette is formatted, you see this message:
Format complete
730112 bytes total disk space
730112 bytes available on disk
Format another (Y/N)?
At this point, you can either format another diskette by pressing Y and
Enter, or return to the MS-DOS command prompt by pressing N and
Enter.
Formatting diskettes with two diskette drives
1. Make sure you are logged on to drive A, with your working copy of the
Startup/Operating 1 diskette in the drive.
