2252.0. "RX23 Diskette Drive Initialization..??" by CORREO::MANUEL () Mon Feb 12 1990 08:01

    I have in my office a VAXstation 3100. I am trying to initialize
    my RX23 diskette drive but for some reason when I try to make the
    command INIT DRIVE$NAME: LABEL it comes back saying :
    		%INIT-FORMAT, invalid media format
    
    Have anyone have this problem..??? Any suggestions of the problem
    are welcome..Thanks in advance...

You must format them.

Any other questions, refer to the TURRIS::MICROVAX conference.
It has been discussed in there.

2252.2Privilege needed in VMS 5.2EVTIS2::HOANGEtes-vous Motif�s ?Mon Feb 12 1990 10:278
    
    Just an information.
    
    	If you're under VMS 5.2, you need the privilege VOLPRO in order
    		to format the diskette with the command in .-1
    	With VMS 5.3, this restriction is fixed.
