Figure 5-10: HDD Low Level Format
Low-level formatting will sometimes remedy corrupt disk sectors.
Unlike DOS formatting which can format disk parititions separately,
Low-level formatting formats the entire physical hard disk drive. To
invoke low-level formatting, select PREFORMAT and press Enter.
Caution: Low-level formatting will destroy all data on the hard disk drive.
If you really want to reformat a hard disk drive, back up your data first.
5-14 Save & Exit Setup
When all required adjustments are complete, you must save these
settings into the CMOS RAM. Select SAVE & EXIT SETUP and
press Enter.
