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 backup 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.
