Dialog Setup

Initially the program suggests some consistent values for all parameters. In most cases, you can just press the Format

button to confirm the operation.

 File system. From the pull-down list select the desired file system type. In fact, the program displays only those

file systems that can correctly be placed to the selected partition, taking its capacity into account.

 Volume label. Enter a label for the selected partition in this textual field. It is an irrelevant parameter usually

used for drive identification.

In addition, there is the possibility to make further detailed settings (although the default values will do in most cases).

To activate the advance mode, you need to click the More options button at the foot of the dialog page. Depending on

the chosen file system, the following options become available:

 Use OS built-in routine. Mark the checkbox to restrict the available values according to the used OS.

 Whether the surface test will be performed. Define the level of the surface check to make the program find bad

and unstable sectors and mark them unusable in the file system metadata.
