The size of unformatted area on the hard disk appears on the display, and counts down as the formatting progresses. (The following example shows a disk with 2100MB of unformatted space.)

Also, the segments in the “∞” column of the level meters light up, and they turn off one by one starting from the right end.

It will take a while to complete formatting, especially if you are formatting a large-capacity disk.

This indicates the size of the unformatted area on the hard disk.
