MS-DOS begins formatting your

hard disk’s DOS partition. The screen continuously displays
the changing head and cylinder numbers.

Besides formatting the hard disk partition, MS-DOS also

copies the operating system files to the hard disk.

When the procedure is complete, the screen displays the
following:

Format complete

System transferred

Volume label (11 characters, ENTER for none)

5. It is a good idea to enter a name (label) for the hard disk

to protect it from being accidentally formatted later. If you
want to name the hard disk, type up to 11 characters and
press

Enter.

If you do not want to name it, just press

Enter.

The screen first displays disk space information and then
