Format Disk

—This utility allows you to perform a low-level

format on a hard disk. Each hard disk must be low-level for-

matted before you can use your operating system’s partition-

ing and file preparation utilities, such as MS-DOS

Fdisk

and

Format

Note:

Low-level formatting takes a long time for large capac-

ity disk drives.

The Adaptec Format Disk utility is compatible with the vast

majority of disk drives.

Caution:

A low-level format destroys all data on the drive.

Be sure to back up your data before performing this opera-

tion. You

cannot

abort a low-level format once it is started.
