 Abstract:  PC DOCTOR QUICK/FULL ERASE UTILITY AND FORMATTING


 TEXT:
 The updated IBM PC Enhanced Diagnostic program, PC Doctor
 version 1.8.362 (P/N05L1930), offers two fixed disk utilities
 equal in function to traditional DOS low level format
 utilities. These two utilities are:

 - Quick Erase Hard Drive
 - Full  Erase Hard Drive

 The Quick Erase Hard Drive provides a DOS utility that performs
 the following:

 - Destroys the Master Boot Record (MBR) on the hard drive.
 - Destroys all copy of the FAT Table on all partitions (both
   the master and backup).
 - Destroys the partition table.
 - Provides messages that warn the user that this is a non-
   recoverable process.

 The Full Erase Hard Drive provides a DOS utility that performs t
 following:

 - Performs all the above steps in Quick Erase.
 - Provides a DOS utility that writes random data to all sectors
   of the hard drive. (provides a more secure erasure of the
   hard drive)
 - Provides an estimate of time to completion along with a visual
   representation of completion status.
 - Provides messages that warn the user that this is a non-
   recoverable process.

 ** WARNING **

 When running either of these utilities, it should be noted that
 Quick & Full Erase DO NOT perform a simple re-format of a
 particular partition (C:, D:, etc.), but destroys all data
 including ALL partitions on the fixed disk drive.

 The PC Doctor Enhanced Diagnostic diskette does not include the
 FDISK and FORMAT DOS utilities. After running the Quick or Full
 Erase utilities, it will be necessary to re-partition and
 re-format the fixed disk drive using the installation disks
 provided with the desired operating system.
