Appendix F

This appendix describes how you check and format a hard disk that you are

installing in your computer. You can also use this program on a hard disk if
you are having serious problems. This program performs a hardware-level

format of the hard disk.

Format hard disk is option 2 on the OPERATION MENU. You can select

this option from the OPERATION MENU, or you can execute the

MS-DOS HDFMTALL command.

After using this option, you must partition the hard disk and format it for a
particular operating system. Remember that formatting destroys all data on

the hard disk, in all partitions, so use this program with extreme care.

To start the program that performs a hardware-level format of a hard disk,

follow these steps:

1. Insert the Reference diskette in drive A.

2. Turn on or reset the computer. The diagnostics program loads

automatically and displays the main menu:
