Formatting the drive

Warning. Formatting a drive erases all user data. Be sure that

you understand this principle before formatting any
hard disc drive. It is not necessary to format a drive
that previously has been used to store data, unless
your intention is to erase all user data.

1.

Turn on DC power.

2.

Boot the system from a system floppy disc or from a previ-
ously installed hard disc drive if there is one.

3.

Format the disc drive. Barracuda 9 disc drives are designed
to operate with a variety of operating systems. Please refer
to your system or SCSI controller manual for information
about formatting and setting up the drive. Some quick desk-
top system notes are provided below.
