Using the Disk Utilities to Manage Disk
Drives
You can use the disk utilities, another tool in the BIOS RAID Configuration utility, to
low-level format or verify your disk drives. (New disk drives are low-level formatted
at the factory and do not need to be low-level formatted again.)
Caution – Before you format a disk drive, back up all data. Formatting destroys all
data on a disk drive.
This section contains the following subsections:
■ “To Format or Verify a Disk Drive With the Disk Utilities” on page 76
■ “To Locate Disk Drives With the Disk Utilities” on page 76
■ “To Identify Disk Drives With the Disk Utilities” on page 77
