In this procedure example, we assume that we format partition 2 (PT02) which is the current drive in the "DDR" mode. If you want to format another partition, press the [ENTER/YES] key while "Drive: PT02HD" is highlighted and select the desired partition.

In this procedure, we assume that we use the default reel number (volume label) which is "S003", and skip to the format mode selection. (If you want to change the reel number later, you can do it using the "Reel No" menu item in the "DISK UTILITY" menu of the MENU mode.)
