IBM PC 365 Personal Computer User Manual


 
Instructions for formatting an unformatted PD cartridge and for formatting a
previously formatted PD cartridge to FDISK-FAT format are provided for each
operating system in the README2.TXT file on the Ready-to-Configure CD that comes
with your computer. If your computer has IBM-preinstalled software, the
README2.TXT file for Windows NT is also installed on the hard disk. Do not
format a PD cartridge at the prompt that appears on the computer screen after you
insert a PD cartridge. To ensure proper formatting, you must follow the
instructions in the README2.TXT file.
For Windows NT Users Only
If you insert a PD cartridge into the PD/CD-ROM drive in your computer and
get a message stating that The drive cannot find the sector requested, this
means that the PD cartridge you are using has been previously formatted with
the SFD format. Because Windows NT does not support SFD, you must
reformat the PD cartridge to FDISK-FAT format, following the instructions in the
README2.TXT file.
