Now, you must enter the password each time you start or reset the computer and/or before the Setup program will start. (See Chapter 2 for information about using the password you have defined.) 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. Running Setup 5-13
