SCSI drives are preformatted and need not be formatted again. If a drive is not prefor- matted, you can use SCSISelect to perform a low-level format on the drive. The formatting is compatible with most SCSI disk drives.

_______________________________________________________________________

NOTE: 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 starts.

When you select the Format Disk option, a prompt displays showing the SCSI ID, type and size of the device you have selected and asks you to confirm that you want to format the disk:

SCSI ID #0 : SEAGATE ST34371W

Capacity: 4148 MBytes

WARNING!!! This drive is about to be low-level formatted. All data on the disk will be erased.

Format Disk?

Yes

No

Two options are available:

•Select Yes to start formatting the disk immediately.

•Select No to cancel the format command without performing the format and return to the SCSI Disk Utilities screen.

Verify Disk Media

This option lets you scan a disk device for defects. If SCSISelect finds bad blocks, it prompts you to reassign them so they are no longer used.

When you select the Verify Disk option, a prompt displays showing the SCSI ID, type and size of the device you have selected and asks you to confirm that you want to verify the disk:

SCSI ID #0 : SEAGATE ST34371W

Capacity: 4148 MBytes

This drive will be scanned for media defects. All recoverable defects will be remapped.

Verify Disk?

Yes

No
