Utilities

Your Deskstar drive comes low-level formatted and free of defects. NOTE: DO NOT ATTEMPT TO LOW
LEVEL FORMAT AN IDE DRIVE. In the rare case where data needs to be removed from the drive, there
are 2 utilities available from the HDDTech FTP site at: http://index.storsys.ibm.com/hddtech
.
ZAP: Zap is a utility that will 'zap' your boot sector by writing 0's to the first 128 sectors of your drive.
WIPE: Wipe goes one step further and writes 0's to the entire drive.
These utilities should be sufficient to return your drive to factory shipped condition.
