Hard Disk Utility

You need to select this option only if you are having serious
problems with your hard disk, such as not being able to access
it. This option provides utilities that allow you to perform a
low-level (or physical) format of your hard disk. Do not
confuse this procedure with the logical format performed by
your operating system. The physical formatting of a hard disk
is a separate step that is usually done at the factory by the disk
manufacturer.
Caution
Physically formatting a hard disk erases any data it contains.
Be sure to back up any data on your hard disk before you
format it. If you are unsure whether formatting is necessary,
contact your Authorized Epson Servicer or call the Epson
Connection (1-800-922-8911) for assistance.
In addition to destroying all the data on the hard disk,
formatting removes any partitions and logical formatting
defined on the disk by your operating system. After you
physically format a hard disk, you need to logically format the
disk again using your operating system.
