                REMOVAL OF NON-DOS PARTITIONS FROM AT EMBEDDED DRIVES

    Because AST does not recommended using HDFORMAT (the low level formatting
    program supplied with AST computers) on AST-supplied AT Embedded hard
    drives, the removal of non-DOS partitions created on these drives can be
    accomplished using either of the following methods:

        1.  Remove the partition using the utilities supplied with the non-DOS
            operating system that installed the partition in the first place.

        2.  Remove the partition with a low-level format using a hard disk
            utilities program, such as On Track's "Disk Manager".
