AMIBIOS includes three hard disk utilities:
U t i l i t y U t i l i t y
Hard Disk Format Performs a low level format of the
hard drive(s). Read the system or hard
disk drive documentation to find out if
the hard disk has been preformatted.
Auto Interleave Determines the optimum interleave
factor and then performs a low level
format of the hard disk drive.
Media Analysis Analyzes each hard disk drive track to
determine whether it is usable. The
track is labeled bad if unusable.
The hard disk utility error messages are described on page 52.
These routines work on drives that use the MFM, RLL, ARLL, or ESDI data recording techniques. They do not work on IDE or SCSI
Disk Drives.
AMIBIOS Hard Disk Utilities destroy all hard disk data. Back up the data on the
hard disk before running this utility.
