Press Y to format the DOS partition, erasing any stored
files. Then press Enter. MS-DOS begins formatting your
hard disk’s DOS partition. The screen continuously displays
the changing head and cylinder numbers.
Besides formatting the hard disk partition, MS-DOS also
copies the operating system files to the hard disk.

following:
Format complete
System transferred
Volume label (11 characters, ENTER for none)

to protect it from being accidentally formatted later. If you
want to name the hard disk, type up to 11 characters and
press Enter. If you do not want to name it, just press
Enter.
The screen first displays disk space information and then
