5-4 The A2091 Installation Software Disk
To prep the entire hard disk, double-click on the PrepHD icon, and a new window
will appear. The system will prompt:
This will low-level format your Quantum 40S hard disk
(SCSI unit 6).
The drive will be re-partitioned to the standard
configuration.
This operation can take up to half an hour.
Any information on the hard disk will be lost!
Are you sure you want to continue?
Type a Y for yes or an N for no, and then press [Return .i]. If you type Y, the
Amiga automatically begins the PrepHD process. Note that the hard disk LED on
the Amiga's front panel will not be lit during PrepHD. When PrepHD is complete,
the system will display the message:
Hard disk prep completed.
Reboot the machine and run the FormatHD utility.
Reboot the machine. Be sure to leave the A2091 Installation Software disk in the
disk drive when you reboot. When the Workbench screen reappears, open the
A2091 Installation Software window and proceed with the formatting process as
described below.
FormatHD
To reformat the entire hard disk, double-click on the FormatHD icon, and a new
window appears. The system will prompt:
Hard Disk Format
WARNING: This will reformat your hard disk drive DH@.
All information on this hard disk will be lost!
Are you sure you want to continue?
Again, type either a Y for yes or an N for no and press [Return .i|. The system
must format the partition cylinder by cylinder, so do not be alarmed if it seems to
be taking a long time. You will be able to follow the progress on the screen. The
system displays which cylinder is being formatted/verified and how many cylinders
are left to be formatted.
