14.3 CREATING & FORMATTING A MS-FLASH PARTITION
FLASH FILE SYSTEM II allows only one MS-Flash read/write partition on the data Flash
device.
The MEMCARD software is used to create and format an MS-Flash partition. The program
can be used in one of two ways; either:
1.
Run the program interactively and make selections in the menus, or
2.
Execute the command from the DOS prompt with switches to specify the drive letter
and volume label of the drive you want to format or to check the Flash device for
errors.
CAUTION
Prior to creating a new or expanded MS-Flash partition, you must
erase any non MS-Flash section it will occupy. To do this, select
option 5 - Erase entire memory card - in the MEMCARD program.
This erases the whole partition that will be used by FLASH FILE
SYSTEM, not the whole Flash disk. For example, if one had
specified FFS_VIP /START=10 in CONFIG.SYS, only the 384KB
used by this partition will be erased.
