When the list of hard drives appears, carefully select the drive you wish to format by
clicking on it (See Figure 3). If this is a new, unformatted drive, it may show up as <not
initialized>. Note: For ideal performance and compatibility, SeriTek/1V4 uses SCSI
emulation which allows your Serial ATA drive to appear as a SCSI drive.
