ATAINIT.EXE
This is a disk partitioning utility that must be used to prepare any
ATA card supported by ATADRV. When a new ATA card is inserted
into a PC Card socket, it is not recognized since there is no com-
mon method to find out its physical parameters (number of sectors,
cylinders, etc.). ATAINIT interrogates the card to find the physical
parameters to use, then prepares it for use. ATAINIT will only work
with devices managed by ATADRV. To use it,
1. Insert an ATA card into either PC Card socket.
2. Switch to the CARDWIZ directory (or the directory where you installed
the
CardWizard
software).
3. Type
atainit
~
(drive letter): and press
Enter
.
(e.g.
atainit
~
e:
[
Enter
])
Follow the prompts on the screen as the utility partitions the PC Card.
Note:
Before you substitute the drive letter, check the system booting
message to see which logical drive names are reserved for ATA cards.
MCFORMAT.EXE
This utility partitions and formats flash memory cards (both MS-
Flash and FTL). However, if you plan to use the card on another
system, make sure it supports the format you use. If it doesnt, you
will not be able to access the card. To use it,
1. Insert a flash memory card into either PC Card socket.
