Formatting PC Media Cards
The PC media card that shipped with your PRE contains the default Cisco IOS image for booting your
router. This section explains how to format a PC media card, modify its contents, or resolve a problem
with the card.
Caution The formatting procedure erases all information on the PC media card.
Note The Cisco uBR10012 router uses PC media cards that are a minimum of 64 MB in size.
Flash memory ATA disks and Flash memory cards use similar commands. The primary syntax change is
that disk0: or disk1: refers to Flash memory ATA disks while slot0: or slot1: refers to Flash memory
cards.
Use the following procedure to format a Flash memory disk:
Step 1 Ensure there is a PC media card in slot 0 or slot 1 of the PRE.
Step 2 Enter the format diskn: command at the privileged EXEC mode prompt to format the card.
The following example shows the display after you enter the format disk0: command:
Router# format disk0:
All sectors will be erased, proceed? [confirm]
Enter volume id (up to 30 characters): MyNewdisk
Formatting sector 1
Format device slot0 completed
Router#
The PC media card is ready for use.
