7.6 Formatting the hard disk
You can delete all contents stored in a hard disk drive by format-
ting it. If you wish to do that, select the Installation > System
Recovery > Format Hard Disk menu; then select the hard disk
driver which you want to format. To format the built-in hard
disk drive, select the option to Internal; otherwise, select the
option to External to format an external hard disk drive which
is connected to the digital receiver. After selecting it, press the

OK button, then you get asked for confirmation. If you select
Yes, formatting will start.
CAUTION
Formatting the hard disk will delete all files permanently.
NOTE
If a new hard disk drive is installed, it must be formatted
because the file system of the digital receiver is different from
any of the personal computer. You can neither record nor use
time shift with an unformatted hard disk.
