Power button as reset switch
The power button acts as a reset switch when pressed for
more than 4 seconds. This resets the system (regardless
of the microcode status) and forces the power off. Use this
only when power is not completely off or the microcode is
in a hung state.
Running a low-level format
Attention: Make sure the drive address to be formatted
is correct. This procedure erases all information on the
disk.
To format the hard disk, use the Full Erase Hard Drive or
Quick Erase Hard Drive in Utility of the PC-Doctor DOS
program. Refer to “Testing the computer” on page 34.
