De-Initialize Disk
WARNING
This option destroys all data on the hard disk.
This menu option allows you to de-initialize a hard disk drive which has previously been initialized
for use with the Intel RAID Controller SRCU31. By doing so, the specific Intel RAID Controller
SRCU31 information present on the device is removed. Obviously, the de-initialization cannot
restore data that was lost during initialization.
Lock/Unlock Disk
This option is only highlighted when you have selected a removable hard disk drive (for example,
SyQuest, Iomega). Before you can initialize a cartridge you must lock it. Before removing it you
must unlock it.
