To make it more difficult to recover the data on the hard disk
Even if you format the hard disk or erase the data on the hard disk, sometimes the erased data can be recovered by using data recovery software etc. that are commercially available. By pressing 49 while selecting [HDD] and holding down the button in step 4, you can erase the data on the hard disk in a format that is difficult to recover. Moreover, by repeating this procedure, you can make the data even more difficult to recover.
●When formatting in this way, a formatting progress bar is displayed.
●If the formatting progress bar does not appear, select [CANCEL] and try again from step 3.
