3.19 Hard Disk Format
This command executes hard disk formatting. There are two types of hard-disk formatting:
❑ Low-level (physical) formatting
❑ MS-DOS (logical) formatting
This hard disk format function performs a low-level format of the hard disk and executes the
following hard disk formats and check:
1. All track FORMAT
2. Good track FORMAT
3. Bad track FORMAT
4. Bad track CHECK
NOTES: The contents of the hard disk will be erased when subtest 02, 03, 04, 05, 06,
08, 09, or 10 is executed. Before running the test, transfer the contents of the hard disk
to floppy disk.
1. If MS-DOS 6.22/Windows for Workgroups is selected, use the Master Diskette
Creator (MDC) utility in the Toshiba Utility folder to back up the preinstalled
software. After backing up the preinstalled software, use the BACKUP com-
mand in the Toshiba Companion Utility to back up the entire disk, including the
user's files.
2. If Windows 95 is selected, check to see if the Microsoft Create System Disks
Tools (MSCSD.EXE) still exists in the System Tools Folder. (This tool can be
used only once.) If it exists, use it to back up the preinstalled software, then use
the Backup utility in the System Tools folder to back up the entire disk, including
the user's files.
Refer to the operating system instructions for more information.
