Preboot menu options
If an error occurs while the product is initializing, an error message displays on the control-panel
display. The user can open the Preboot menus. The error menu item will not be seen if an error did not
occur.
CAUTION: The 2 Format Disk option performs a disk initialization for the entire disk. The
operating system, firmware files, and third-party files (among other files) will be completely lost. HP
does not recommend this action without contacting support first.
