see the operation and maintenance guide for your system.
2. Examine the type of the initialized replacement disk:

If the replacement disk’s type is Basic, go to step

click Convert to Basic. The replacement disk should now appear as a basic disk.
4. If the basic replacement disk has any volumes, delete them. Right-click the volume
on the replacement disk, and then click Delete Partition. Repeat for each volume
on the replacement disk. Verify that the basic replacement disk now appears as a
single unallocated space.
