Check with WatchGuard Customer Service before you consider formatting the hard drive
(page 103) .
Warning! Formatting the hard drive erases all data from the hard drive.
Formatting does not erase the configuration data.
To format the hard drive:
1. Touch Format Hard Drive on the Maintenance Menu screen.
The Format Hard Drive screen appears.
Touching the Back button returns you to the Maintenance Menu screen.
2. Choose the Quick or Full Format button.
Depending on which button you choose, a message appears.
The Full Format is checking the media for bad blocks. Doing this can take up to 1 hour per 100
Gb of hard drive data. The Quick Format does not check for bad blocks and the hard drive can
eventually return an error 26 causing you to have to format the hard drive again.
3. Touch OK to reformat the hard drive or Cancel to return to the Format Hard Drive screen.
Warning! If you have questions about this step, contact WatchGuard Customer
Service.
