Hard Disk Format
The Hard disk format program performs a low-level format on
your hard disk. If your computer came with a factory-installed
hard disk or if you have installed an optional Epson hard disk, it
has already been formatted for you.
You may need to format the hard disk if you have installed a
new, non-Epson hard disk in your computer that has never
received this type of low-level format and did not come with its
own format utility.
You must still partition and format the hard disk for
MS-DOS after performing, this low-level format. See your
MS-DOS Installation Guide for instructions.
