7) Press the STORE/ENT key.

The message “SURE ??” will appear on the display.

Caution:

When you format a disk, ANY EXISTING DATA WILL BE ERASED – PERMA-

NENTLY. Please be certain that this is what you intend to do. Back up any data that you

want to keep before formatting. See “Backup and Restore” on page 110.

8) If you are sure, press the STORE/ENT key again to start formatting.

As the DR16pro formats the disk, the message “VERIFYING” alternating with the message

“GOOD 00000” (indicating the current disk block number) will appear on the display. The

disk block numbers count up as the disk is formatted.

If a bad block is found on the disk, the message “BAD BLOCKS” appears on the display.

Disk formatting does take time. The larger the disk, the longer it will take.

If you decide you do not want to format the disk, press the ESCAPE key to cancel the format

function.

When the disk format is complete, the message “DONE” will momentarily appear on the

display. The previous mode will be restored.

Note:

If the DR16pro was unable to format the drive, because, for example, you selected a

SCSI ID that had no corresponding disk, the message

“FAIL”

will appear on the display.

Note:

While the DR16pro can properly format a Macintosh hard disk or MO, it does not

install any type of Macintosh driver software on the disk. Therefore, disks formatted on the

DR16pro will require third-party mounting software in order to appear on the Macintosh

desktop.
