How to re-format an ESDI dirve on a MicroVaxII

Post by Charles Mens » Fri, 17 Apr 1992 09:03:17



        Hello, could someone advise me on how I can re-format, low and high-
level, a hard drive on a MicroVaxII?

        The drive is an ESDI, and as far as I can tell, there is/was (supposed
to be a formating program on the distribution taep (TK50). However I can ont
locate it.

        Please direct me to an ftp site where such a program can be obtained,
or some advice?


                                Many Thanks,
                                Charles

1. How do you re-format a disk with no drive letter ?

I incorrectly partitioned a 4Gb disk using DOS's fdisk..
I  removed all the partitions to be begin a fresh install, but now fdisk
complains about the selection (unknow FS type?), and then I go round in
cicles !

I've tried to re-partition using the installation CD but that fails ..

Do I need to use a low-level format utility to wipe the disk, and whats
the correct way to format a disk
for Linux ?

Thanks in advance,

Martin,
