Erasing a system disk
You can use the ERASE command is used to remove all files from
the LPS system disks. Disks may be erased when:
• A new system is generated from a SST.
• A new version of software must be installed on a disk which has
first been formatted or erased.
Note: The ERASE command saves the existing MBAIS and
bad block files; sector check is not performed. To erase all four
disks takes less than 1 minute. The FORMAT command deletes
all files except the MBAIS file, formats the disk, performs a
sector check, and flags any bad blocks.
