Chapter 9: Saving and Loading From Disk

Page 186

=========== Format Hard Disk ===========

The disk must now be divided into

‘partitions’ of up to 30 mbytes each.

Enter number of partitions: 4 (27 mbytes

each, A - D, for a total of 110 mbytes.)

========================================

<Do it>

The lower portion of the screen warns that the hard disk’s storage space

must be divided into up to 26 partitions of no more than 30 megabytes

each. These partitions are called partition A, partition B, and so on. In

each of the save and load operations, you will be allowed to select which

partition to save to or load from. Regardless of the size of each partition,

no more than 224 files can be saved to each partition.

At this point you must enter the number of partitions to divide your hard

disk into. A higher number of partitions will reduce the size of each

partition; a lower number of partitions will maximize the size of each

partition. If you’re unsure, a safe bet is to select the fewest partitions,

allowing each partition to have the maximum size. When you’ve decided,

press <Do it> to finish the format operation.

COMMENT: When the formatting is finished, the hard disk is

automatically made “active” (recognized by the MPC60 as ready

for use).

Making a SCSI Hard Disk Active

In normal operation, a formatted SCSI hard disk is made active

(recognized by the MPC60 as ready for use) by turning on the MPC60

while the hard disk is connected and turned on. However, it is also

possible to make a SCSI device active without recycling power, or to

make a specific device active when two or more devices are connected.

To perform either of these actions, press DISK, then 8, then 4, and the

following screen will appear:

1 2 ... 187 188 189 190 191 192 193 194 195 196 197 ... 240 241
