Formatting Pc Media Cards - Cisco Universal Broadband Router uBR10012 Hardware Installation Manual

Formatting PC Media Cards

Formatting PC Media Cards
The PC media card that shipped with your PRE contains the default Cisco IOS image for booting your
router. This section explains how to format a PC media card, modify its contents, or resolve a problem
with the card.
The formatting procedure erases all information on the PC media card.
Caution
The Cisco uBR10012 router uses PC media cards that are a minimum of 64 MB in size.
Note
Flash memory ATA disks and Flash memory cards use similar commands. The primary syntax change is
that disk0: or disk1: refers to Flash memory ATA disks while slot0: or slot1: refers to Flash memory
cards.
Use the following procedure to format a Flash memory disk:
Step 1 Ensure there is a PC media card in slot 0 or slot 1 of the PRE.
Step 2 Enter the format diskn: command at the privileged EXEC mode prompt to format the card. The example
shows the display after you enter the format disk0: command:
Router# format disk0:
All sectors will be erased, proceed? [confirm]
Enter volume id (up to 30 characters): MyNewdisk
Formatting sector 1
Format device slot0 completed
The PC media card is ready for use.
