Formatting a 720-KB Diskette
To format a 720KB diskette:
1. If necessary, log onto drive C. If you are not in the directory
where the file FORMAT.COM is stored, use the CD command
to change to that directory.
2. When you see the
C
>
prompt, type the following and press
Enter:
FORMAT A: /N:9 /T:80
You see this prompt:
Insert new 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.
An easy way to perform the functions described above is through
the MENU utility, See the section on MENU later in this
chapter.
