Hello,
I want to make a button to format a disk with the shell (in FAT16
which is impossible to do with the GUI of MacoS X).
Here my script :
get shell("df")
put line lineoffset("/Volumes/"&the label of btn "disk", it) of it
into tdisk
set the itemdel to " "
put item 1 of tdisk into tdisk
-- return /dev/Disks4s1
get shell("diskutil umount "&tdisk)
-- Fail to unmount (but works directly in the terminal)
get shell("diskutil partitionDisk "&tdisk&" 1 MBRFormat ""e&"MS-
DOS FAT16""e&"e&fld "newname""e&&"100%")
-- don't work because the disk is always mounted
Any idea ?
Thanks.
