Appendix E

Physically Formatting a Hard Disk

This appendix describes how to physically format a hard disk.

Sometimes called a low-level format, this procedure should not

be confused with the logical format performed by the MS-DOS

FORMAT command. The physical formatting of a hard disk is a

separate step that is usually done at the factory by the disk

manufacturer.

If your Equity 386/25

came with a hard disk, that disk has

already been physically formatted. You need only follow the

instructions in the MS-DOS Installation Guide to prepare your

hard disk for use.

If you have installed a hard disk that came with its own format

utility, use that program to physically format the disk.

You may need to use the procedure in this chapter to physically

format a hard disk if either of the following is true:

Your hard disk is producing numerous read/write errors or

you are having other serious problems with the disk.

Sometimes, after a hard disk has been used for a long time,

the disk’s data becomes fragmented, causing the disk to

frequently produce errors. You may need to reformat the

disk in this case.

You have installed a hard disk in your computer that has

never received the low-level format and did not come with

its own format utility.
