6. When the VSN, physical drive number, and cylinder size are correct, select

the Start button. When the Format confirmation appears (see Figure 3-2),
select OK to perform the requested FMT format operation, or select Cancel
to cancel your request.

7. When the format operation completes successfully, the Format complete

message is displayed (see Figure 3-3). If the specified volser has already
been used, an error message is displayed to notify you (see Figure 3-4). If
the format operation could not be started due to an error condition, the
Format check error message is displayed. If the format operation did not
complete successfully, one of the following error messages is displayed (see
Figure 3-5) (n = system error code):

Open error! (n)

Open process error on specified volume.

Seek error! (n)

Seek process error on specified volume.

Read error! (n)

Read process error on specified volume.

Write error! (n)

Write process error on specified volume.

Close error! (n)

Close process error on specified volume.

8. When you are finished formatting OPEN-x volumes for use as FXoto volumes,

select Close to close the Format panel and exit the FMT utility.

Important Note:

When the message “Format check error” is indicated, the formatting
operation has not started and the original condition has been kept. When

another message is indicated, the formatting process has already started. The
data on the volume has already been initialized. Remove the error condition
and format the volume again.

If you execute over the maximum number of cylinders on Windows 2003, the

message “Format failed … Format check error” appears after about a minute.
It should be clear when formatting has completed.
