Formatting a SCSI Drive

Connect the MPC2000XL to an external SCSI drive using SCSI connectors (refer to “Con-

necting an External SCSI Drive”).

Hold SHIFT and press LOAD (3 on the numeric keypad) to enter the Disk mode. Press

FORMAT [F4] to display the format screen.

Select the SCSI ID number of the drive in the Device: field.

.......................................................................................................................

The Vender=, Product=, Ver.= fields displays various information about the

selected disk drive. The total disk capacity will appear under the icon on the far right.

Set the partitioning. When you are using a large disk, such as a hard disk, it is easier to

manage files by dividing the disk into partitions which are then named in alphabetical

order. The Partition size= field will display the size of each partition set in the

Parts: field.

When A-A is selected in the Parts: field, the disk will not be partitioned. When A-D is

selected in the Parts: field, the disk will be divided into four partitions: A, B, C, and D.

The disk space will be equally divided.

Note: If a partitioned disk is connected to a PC, the partition data may be destroyed,

preventing data retrieval.

Press DO IT [F5] to format.

If a disk such as a CD-ROM (which cannot be written to) is selected in the Device:

field, Disk write error will appear, and the disk will not be formatted.

Note: The MPC2000XL is not compatible with the 1024K (or larger) sector sized MO

disks.
