This resets the system (regardless of the microcode status) and forces the power off. Use this only when power is not completely off or the microcode is in a hung state. Running a low-level format Attention: Make sure the drive address to be formatted is correct. This procedure erases all information on the disk. To format the hard disk, select Utility, and then use the Full Erase Hard Drive or Quick Erase Hard Drive in Utility of the PC-Doctor for DOS program. Refer to "Testing the computer" on page 34.
