FLASHDSK.SYS
This driver configures all of the unit’s available flash memory as a read-
write disk, called a flash disk. Reading from a flash disk is fast, but
writing can be somewhat slower. This driver is located on the B drive
and is loaded by the CONFIG.SYS file located on that drive. You cannot
eliminate the loading of FLASHDSK.SYS.
FORMAT.COM
This utility formats a read-write disk drive. Only the flash and RAM
drives may be formatted using this command. FORMAT.COM uses the
existing drive parameters to recreate the drive, but without any files
stored on it. This provides a quick method for cleaning out an existing
drive.
Syntax
FORMAT [drive:] [/y]
Options
drive
Specifies the letter of the drive to be formatted. If you do not specify a
drive letter, the current drive is used.
/y
Suppresses output from being sent to the display, and bypasses the usual
prompt to proceed with formatting.
