BEGIN FORMATTING
When it is finished, FMT219 displays:
EXIT
The diskette is now formatted. Before you can use the diskette, you need to
initialize it.
3.Now, use the SYSACT command to initialize the diskette. Type:
SYSACT Devn:
RETURN
4.You now see the SYSACT prompt symbol, an asterisk. Type I
RETURN
(the SYSACT
Initialize command):
*I
RETURN
SYSACT now asks you to confirm this command:
Initializing the disk clears all files -
enter Y to confirm:
Initializing the diskette erases any data on it, so be sure the correct diskette is in
the drive and
you entered the correct device name before you answer.
Type Y
RETURN
. Now SYSACT asks you:
On AMOS 1.x operating systems you’ll see this query:
Reserve space for how many accounts?
The default is 64 accounts, which is probably more than enough. Press the
RETURN
key to accept this number.
On AMOS 2.x operating systems you’ll see this query:
Create extended directory structure? [NO]
This option is normally used with hard disk drives where the standard
logical size can be increased beyond the 32MB limit. The default response
is NO. Press the
RETURN
key to accept the default response.
5.Now, use the E command to leave SYSACT:
*E
RETURN
You have now left SYSACT and are at AMOS command level.
