When you select Hard Disk Format, DIAG requests the

following hard disk parameters:

Start cylinder number
End cylinder number
Start head number

If you do not specify the bad track list, DIAG performs an

analysis of the surface of the hard disk to determine the bad

tracks.

DIAG displays the following messages after you specify the hard

disk parameters:

W A R N I N G

All data on Hard disk you have

specified may be LOST...

to start formatting the hard disk. Press

and

to stop the operation.

This test lets DIAG determine the interleave factor for your
hard disk.
