Format Disk
The Format Disk utility performs a low-level format on disk devices.
Most SCSI disk devices are preformatted and do not need to be formatted again. The Adaptec Format Disk utility is compatible
with the vast majority of SCSI disk drives. Run it on hard disk drives or removable-media drives that were previously used with a
non-Adaptec SCSI controller.
A low-level format destroys all data on the drive. Be
sure to back up your data before performing this
operation. You cannot abort a low-level format once it
is started.
Verify Media
The Verify Media utility scans the selected device’s media for defects. If the utility finds bad blocks, it prompts you to reassign
them. If you select
Yes
, those blocks will no longer be used.
You can press
at any time to abort the Verify
Disk Media utility.
