Chapter 10—Using storage devices
98
Note: When you format a device, any data that had been stored on that device will be lost forever. Perform this
operation with care to avoid erasing any important files.
The time required for formatting will depend on the size and type of the storage device. Large device such as
hard disks may take a very long time to format.
Hint: If the storage device connected to the MPC4000 has been divided into partitions, executing the WIPE
VOLUME command will erase only the files from the currently selected volume.
