Option 1, Format
If you select
Format
from the Hard Disk Format Menu, you
see the following (for a disk with no defective track table):
Format Hard Disk
< Drive 1: >

information
? (Y/N)
(If the disk already has a defective track table, you do not see
the message because the disk does not need to be scanned for
bad tracks.)

Y
to scan the disk or
N
to skip the scanning process.
If you select
Y
,
the program scans the disk and displays
these messages during the process:

tracks...
Head
: nnn
Cylinder

You see the head and cylinder numbers decrease as the
program progresses. After scanning the disk, the program
displays the results, such as the following:
Scanning finished.
