"Realize" as "bring into concrete existence" or "realize" as "conceive vividly as real"? If first, then the answer is "I don't, the unit just does it." If second, then you can just turn the disk and measure the diameter and note that when the inner ring of virgin surface gets thin enough media gets rendered useless. If neither answers the question, define "this." > I did not yet format a disk, because from reading the documentation, My tools is are based on MMC-3 draft avaiable at www.t10.org and a lot of personal experience.
