Formatting the drive

Warning. Formatting a drive erases all user data. Be sure that you understand this principle before formatting any hard disc drive. It is not necessary to format a drive that previously has been used to store data, unless your intention is to erase all user data.

1.Turn on DC power.

2.Boot the system from a system floppy disc or from a previ- ously installed hard disc drive if there is one.

3.Format the disc drive. Barracuda 9 disc drives are designed to operate with a variety of operating systems. Please refer to your system or SCSI controller manual for information about formatting and setting up the drive. Some quick desk- top system notes are provided below.
