Valid track numbers are in the range of 0 thru 1223 for 10 MB
dr~ves and 0 thru 1835 for 15 MB drives.
You must enter the track number in decimal. To calculate the
track number when given the head and cylinder numbers, use
the formula
Track# = (Cylinder# times # of Heads)
+
Head#
where
Cylinder# is in the range 0-305'
# of Heads is 4 for 10 MB drives and 6 for 15 ME drives
Head# is in the range 0-3 for 10 MB drives and 0-5 for 15 MB
drives
Here are some examples.

Single track formatting of tracks 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 should not be
done. These tracks are reserved for redirecting. Doing so will
write the pattern E5E5 (hex) in the Redirect Map Table which will
falsely indicate that all table entries are used (Table Full error
message).
Single track formatting of any other track clears the redirect
flags in that track and clears the Redirect Map Table entries for
that track on cylinder O. If you format a track that contains
any bad sectors you must manually redirect all bad sectors for
that track using the Redirect option of SYSINT.
SYSINT Format Mode
SYSINT format mode with the all tracks option should only be used
to initialize new disk drives or to correct disk errors caused by
controller fail ure.
Run the SYSINT program from the Diagnostic Diskette by typing
SYSINT in response to the CP/M prompt. The screen will display:
