Formatting the Hard Disk Drive
Hard disk drives normally contain tracks in excess of their
stated capacity to allow for defective tracks. The user is
notified by a diagnostic message when the defect limit has
been reached and service is recommended.
The Advanced Diagnostics Format program is different
from the operating system format program. Before the
customer can transfer information from the backup
diskettes to the hard disk drive, the hard disk drive must
be formatted using the operating system format program.
Have the customer refer to the operating system manual
for a description of the hard disk preparation commands.
Warning: All data on the selected hard disk drive will be
destroyed during a format operation or surface analysis.
After formatting the hard disk drive, copy the System files
from the Diagnostics diskette to the hard disk drive.
Restoring the TP500 Subdirectory: The
TP500 subdirectory on the Diagnostics diskette and hard
disk drive contains the following:
Installation utilities
Introductory program
Other utilities

If the hard disk drive is reformatted or the files in the
TP500 subdirectory on the hard disk drive are corrupted,
copy the TP500 subdirectory on the Diagnostics diskette to
the hard disk drive. To create a TP500 subdirectory on
the hard disk drive and copy the files, do the following:
