- if the disk had Amiga partitions before, you are prompted to reboot.
- if the disk did not have partition before, you can run DF0:System/Format and select the new partitions from the list to format them. Or just reboot and wait until the "dh0:unformatted" icons appear, then select one at a time and choose "Format Disk" from the menu.
- when formatting harddrive partitions, always select Quick Format.
