Adaptec RAID Configuration Utility

Using the Disk Utilities

The Disk Utilities enable you to format or verify the media of your

Serial ATA hard disks.

To access the disk utilities:

1 Turn on your computer and press Ctrl+A when prompted to

access the ARC utility.

2 From the ARC menu, select Disk Utilities.

3 Select the desired disk and press Enter.

You are offered the following options:

■ Format Disk—Simulates a low-level format of the hard

drive by writing zeros to the entire disk. Serial ATA drives

are low-level formatted at the factory and do not need to be

low-level formatted again.

Caution: Formatting destroys all data on the drive. Be

sure to back up your data before performing this

operation.

■ Verify Disk Media—Scans the media of a disk drive for

defects.
