4. Formatting the drive

This operation will format the

D888’s hard disk drive.

You should execute this operation if you want to erase all the
data stored on the drive, or if a “Drive error occurred” mes-
sage appears frequently.

Remember that all data on the drive will be erased when you
execute the Format operation, so please be sure that you’re
not erasing any data you need to keep. If necessary, you can
make a backup before you execute this operation. (

matted, it is possible that the D888 may stop operating correctly.

puter to the
