ViewStation fdisk Command

This page describes the ViewStation's fdisk command.

Using the fdisk Command
The fdisk command is a Console window command. It is password protected.

You can use fdisk to format or erase ViewStation FlashPROM and PC Card devices. It is available from any Console window, either local on the ViewStation, or from a remote Console window from another device.

From the Console window prompt (the fdisk command is password protected), type:

HDS> fdisk

The fdisk command must be used for disks being programmed for the first time. ViewStations equipped with ROM or hard disks from the factory do not need to use the fdisk command (disks ordered from the factory are already initialized and loaded with HDSware).
