To do a Full Reformat, set Format in the Job dialog box or menu to Always.
Use full reformat if you plan to use an old disk as a master disk or want to
completely erase all the data on it.

Note: If you are using an controller then set the Format
option to Always. This enables the format-with-write capability of the
Allegro for improved copy quality without increasing the copy time for full
disks. Otherwise DiskDupe takes a couple of seconds to determine if the disk
is formatted or not.
