NAME

mformat − add an MSDOS filesystem to a low-level formatted diskette. 

SYNOPSIS

mformat [ -t tracks ] [ -h heads ] [ -s sectors ] [ -l volume label ] drive:

DESCRIPTION

Mformat adds a minimal MSDOS filesystem (boot sector, FAT, and root directory) to a diskette that has already been formatted by a Unix low-level format. 

The follow options are supported:

t The number of tracks (not cylinders). 

h The number of heads (sides). 

s The number of sectors per track. 

l An optional volume label. 

To format a diskette at a density other than the default, you must supply (at least) those command line parameters that are different from the default.

BUGS

Requires a low-level format utility from Unix. 

Doesn’t detect (or record) bad block information.
