Partitioning and Formatting
A utility program named AFDISK is provided to partition and format SCSI
drives which are installed under the drivers. Use this utility to:
Partition SCSI drives into logical disks. Multiple partitions can be cre-
ated on one physical drive.
Format SCSI logical drives or partitions.
Delete existing partitions.
AFDISK provides the functional equivalent of the DOS FORMAT and
FDISK utilities. Use AFDISK on drives to be installed under the drivers, do
not use DOS utilities.
AFDISK Operation
Locate the diskette shipped with the module and copy the five files in the
AFDISK subdirectory into a working subdirectory.
To run AFDISK, simply type AFDISK at the DOS prompt. Follow the di-
rections on the screen to partition and format the selected SCSI devices. By
pressing the F1 key, the AFDISK utility also provides on-line help.
By pressing the ESC key, the AFDISK utility may be exited at any time
without executing any changes.
Reboot the system once the SCSI device(s) are partitioned and formatted.
This step saves any changes made and allows use of the newly installed
disk(s) or partition(s) by the aspidisk.sys utility.
