Epson 20020 Manuel D’Utilisation

If your computer has only one diskette drive and no hard disk,

follow this procedure to format a diskette:

1. Insert the working copy of your MS-DOS Startup diskette

in drive A.

2. When you see the 

A> 

prompt, type the following and press

Enter:

FORMAT A:

You see this prompt:

Insert 

new diskette for drive A:

and strike ENTER when ready

3. Remove the MS-DOS Startup diskette and insert the

diskette you want to format into the drive. Press 

Enter to

start formatting. When the diskette is formatted, you see a

message similar to this:

Format complete

1213952 bytes total disk space

1213952 bytes available on disk

Format another (Y/N)?

4. At this point, you can either format another diskette by

pressing Y and 

Enter, 

or return to the MS-DOS command

prompt by pressing N and 

Enter.

The formatted diskette is now ready to store data.

You can also format diskettes for 360KB in your Apex
computer. See the MS-DOS Reference Manual for

information about options you can use with the FORMAT

command.
