disk or 2 for the second hard disk.

Then see the instructions below for the Hard Disk Format

Menu option you want to use.

the Hard Disk Format Menu, you

see the following (for a disk with no defective track table):

Format Hard Disk Drive

(If the disk already has a defective track table, you do not see

this because you do not need to scan for bad tracks.)
