system operation.
The Start over function key (#8) is provided on this screen and screen #3 (the formatting
screen). It causes screen #1 (the program entry screen), to be displayed on the console again.
The Gen MMS function key (#3) regenerates the Magnolia Microsystems partition table from the
UltiMeth partition table and is advised not to be used since it is not supported at this time
(although it may work). The Magnolia Microsystems partition table has a different format and is
also recorded on the boot track. If Magnolia Microsystems CP/M is being used on the hard disk, this
function should normally be activated before the boot track is written (function key #1),
whenever:
1. The origin or size of any category 3 partition is changed;
2. The order or number of category 3 entries are changed; or
3. The value for the Error-len: field is changed.
The Write track function key (#1) checks the partition table for correct values (no overlapping or
out-of-bounds partition boundaries). If the values are valid, the partition table and the hard disk
master boot program are written onto the boot track, and the program then returns control to
the operating system.
The Format options function key (#2) accesses screen #3 (the formatting screen). This screen will
be discussed next.
