If you format a HDD, removable disk on Windows XP/2000, you usually use Disk Management in the Computer Management in Windows XP/ 2000. But, when you failed to format the HDD or a new drive letter will not be assigned after you have done Disk Management, you should do Low Level Format, using this format utility FRFMTW2K.EXE.
Follow the steps through to do Low Level Format.
1.Make sure the SCSI device is connected and powered on.
2.If the device is a removable disk and its media is not inserted, insert a media.
3.From the Start menu, select Programs, then RATOC FireWire Utility, and then FR Format utility.
4.The message box appears. Click [OK].
5.The following window will appear. Select the drive and click [Start].
6.After finishing, you have to write signature
on the disk and format the disk, using Disk Management in Windows XP/2000. For more information, refer to a Windows XP/2000 help file.
