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 (as shown below.)
You can choose from the following options
1. 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.
2. Verify Disk Media - Scans the media of a disk drive for defects.
