configuring IDE hard disk

[FCBfreak]

Hi,

I'm trying to configure a 10.2 GB IDE hard disk drive on my
development board by booting to Windows PE and using dispart.exe.

After Windows Pe has started, I use following commands at the command
prompt:

diskpart
list disk
select disk 0
clean
create partition primary size=1024
select partition 1
active
exit

Then I reboot the system and boot up WinPE again to format the drive.

After "X:\i386\system32>" at the command prompt I use the well-known
'format' command:

format c: /fs:ntfs

Unfortunately the systems responds with following error message:

" 'fs' is not recognized as an external or internal command, operable
program or batch file"

While this should definitely have to work, shouldn't it?

Can anyone help me please, I guess I'm doing something wrong...

Thanks in advance

format [/fs:ntfs] [/V:label] [/C] [/A:n] x:
Where x: is the drive letter you want to use. If you don't select one,
then it will be C assuming it's the first drive.

Example:
format /fs:ntfs /V:Volume_label_of_My_Drive x:

Your way is correct too. Maybe you had a typo?

Definitely not a typo, tried it multiple times.
Will try your way of inputing the format command, but I doubt this
will change a thing.

Obviously, the system doesn't manage to interpret the letters
'fs' (i.e. filesystem).

Maybe I've to give it a try with Bart's PE...

OK,

it was indeed a typo! -)

I'm using an Azerty keyboard (living in Belgium) and WinPE uses querty
configuration, so I had to search for the right key combinations for a
specific symbol!

Instead of typing "format C: /fs:ntfs", I used "C| /fs|ntfs".

On the development board this resulted in 2 small stripes (instead of
two dots), so on the system itself the difference was very hard to
notice. Here however, the symbol shows up as 1 complete stripe.

I managed to copy & install my XPe runtime image to the board now! -)

When testing out an next version of my runtime image, do I have to use
all commands again or only the "xcopy" command?

You don't have to repartition and reformat the media if you just want to replace the image.
Although, often it is much faster to run the format in quick mode (format /q) to delete all the files on the disk rather than using
the "del *.*" command or Explorer.
