Initializing Logical Drive

The Initialize writes 0s into the entire area of a Logical Drive to erase the data saved in the Logical Drive. Use the

function when you want to erase the data saved in a Logical Drive fully.

Initialize has two modes listed in the table below.

Mode

Description

Full Writes 0s into the entire area of a Logical Drive to erase the data fully.

Quick Writes 0s into some blocks in a Logical Drive. Only erases OS installation and partition

management information. Initialize of the mode is completed earlier than that of the full mode.

However, because 0s are not written into the remaining area, data consistency is not held in the

Logical Drive.



Initialize are available only in the Advanced Mode.



You can initialize Logical Drive with partitions. Before initializing Logical Drive, check if the

Logical Drive contains required data. Initializing a Logical Drive causes all the data saved

in the Logical Drive to be lost.

The Consistency Check of a Logical Drive initialized in the quick mode causes a data

inconsistency error to occur due to no data consistency.
