Hawk 4 Family Installation Guide, Rev. B 9

• Low-Level formatting: All Hawk 4 family drive mod-
els are low-level formatted at the factory and do not
require this step during installation. If an installed
drive is low-level formatted, all user data will be lost.
Note: Seagate Technology assumes no liability for lost
user data.
• Partitioning and high level formatting: A drive can
be sub-divided into "partitions" which behave as
individual drives within the system. Consult the sys-
tem documentation for instructions on partitioning
and high level formatting. Information is also avail-
able in bookstores and libraries.
