partitions have errors or need to be changed.
Caution
By deleting or creating partitions all saved data is lost on the hard disk. All drives
on the hard disk will be erased.
The hard disk is delivered with the following installed (only for versions delivered
with Windows NT):

– a partition of with the NTFS file system.
To restore the partitions to their original condition, please do the following:
