Using Low-Density Diskettes

Since Windows NT does not use DOS, you will not be able to perform this procedure on a Windows NT system.

Under the SunPCi program, just as on a PC, low-density diskettes must be formatted, read, or written as low-density diskettes. To format low-density diskettes, you must explicitly specify the diskette parameters while formatting.

To format a low-density DOS diskette, perform the following step:

1. At the DOS prompt, enter the DOS format command with /t and /n options.

   For example, enter the following command at the DOS prompt:

   ---

   C:\> format a: /t:80 /n:9
   

   ---

   For more information about the format command, enter HELP FORMAT at the DOS prompt.
