Cisco recommends that you create a duplicate PCMCIA card that contains the
current boot software image and the current software configuration. You can use
the backup card to quickly recover from a major system failure. You can also use
a backup card to load a new PRE module and avoid the time-consuming
reconfiguration process. For instructions to create a backup PCMCIA card, refer
to the Cisco 10000 Series ESR Software Configuration Guide.
The Flash memory disk card that shipped with your router contains the default
Cisco IOS image for booting your router. This section explains how to format an
ATA flash disk.
The formatting procedure erases all information on Flash memory disks or cards.
Flash memory ATA disks and Flash memory cards use similar commands. The
primary syntax change is that disk0: or disk1: refers to Flash memory ATA disks
while slot0: or slot1: refers to Flash memory cards.
To format a Flash memory disk:
Ensure there is a Flash memory disk in PCMCIA slot 0 or slot 1 of the PRE.
To format the disk, enter the format diskn: command at the privileged EXEC
mode prompt.
