Hawk 2LP (Wide) Installation Guide, Rev. A
• Low-Level formatting: All Hawk 2LP wide family
drive models are low-level formatted at the factory
and do not require this step during installation. If an
installed drive is low-level formatted, all user data will
be lost.
Note: Seagate Technology assumes no liability for lost
user data.
• Partitioning and high level formatting: A drive can
be subdivided into "partitions" which behave as indi-
vidual drives within the system. Consult the system
documentation for instructions on partitioning and
high level formatting. Information is also available in
bookstores and libraries.
