Formatting

Caution.
Do not format the existing drive that contains user data that
you don't want to lose, as all user data will be lost when a drive
is formatted.
When a second drive is installed, the drive letters assigned by
DOS to the first drive may change. Be careful not to accidently
format a logical drive with existing data.
When you complete drive partitioning, you need to high-level
format every new logical drive you have set up. If your new
drive is to be the boot-up drive, insert the DOS system diskette
in drive A and type at the A/> prompt FORMAT C: /s/v. This
formats drive C and puts the programs on that are necessary
to boot the computer from the C drive, and verifies that the
format was performed correctly. For each additional logical drive
you have changed or newly set up, type in FORMAT X: /v (where
"X" is the proper drive letter for the drive to be formatted).
