If you select

Format

from the Hard Disk Format Menu, you

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

Format Hard Disk < Drive n: >

Scan hard disk to get defective track

information? (Y/N)

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

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

N

to skip the scanning process. If

you select

Y

,

the program scans the disk and displays these

messages during the process:

After scanning the disk, the program displays the results, such

as the following:
