Performing a Low-Level Disk Format
You can perform a low-level format on hard disk drives using the
Format Disk feature of the SCSISelect Utility program.
Depending on the hard disk capacity, the low-level format program
could take up to two hours.
When To Use the Format Disk Program
Use the Format Disk program:
Ÿ When you are installing software that requires a low-level
format
Ÿ When you get recurring messages from the diagnostic tests
directing you to run the Low-Level Format program on the hard
disk
Ÿ As a last resort before replacing a failing hard disk drive
Note: For information about backing up all of your files, see your
operating-system documentation.
