disk format |
Also found in: Wikipedia, Hutchinson | 0.04 sec. |
disk formatThe storage layout of a disk as determined by its physical medium and as initialized by a format program. Disk formats can be obviously different; for example, a 3.5" floppy compared to the earlier 5.25" floppy. However, a 3.5" floppy could be a Windows disk or a Mac disk depending on which system initialized it. See low-level format, high-level format, DOS/Windows format, DOS Format and file format.

To eliminate this problem, the disc needs to be "de-iced," a process similar in concept to hard disk formatting. There is no need for special disk formatting or management utilities, or for creating or managing special user accounts. An ST proprietary 4/12 coding scheme for servo Gray code paired with a matched Trellis detector can be used to allow better disk formatting compared to today's 1/4 Gray code rates; 1/4 Gray code rates are anyway automatically supported by the Bramante chip to overcome any servo formatting legacy issue. |
