repeated for each partition (drive letter) that you wish to make “permanent.”

these changes.
After confirming that you wish to commit the changes, a new message screen should
appear advising that the commit changes action was successful.
NOTE
A message window will appear following this step asking you if you
wish to save a copy of the configuration to a floppy. You may do
so at this time, as prompted by the screen display.

select
Format (see Figure 4–6).

You may also choose the
Quick Format option. Select OK to begin the format proc-
ess. For further information regarding these options, refer to your Windows NT
documentation.
A message window appears advising you when the formatting is complete.
