Specifications

Every disk should appear with the word “Basic”, a size value that shows the available
storage capacity, and a status of “Online”. Instead of Basic, a disk could appear
Unknown, Dynamic, or Not Initialized.
If the disk appears as “Unknown”, right-click the disk icon and select Write
Signature. A window opens with the selected disk (all Unknown disks may appear in
this window). Make sure the box next to each disk is checked and click OK. The disk
should now be marked as a Basic disk.
If a disk appears as “Dynamic”, right-click the disk icon, and select Revert to Basic
Disk. Within a few seconds, the disk should be marked as a Basic disk.
If a disk is marked “Not Initialized”, right-click the disk icon and select Initialize
Disk. An additional dialog box appears allowing you to select which disks to
initialize. Uncheck the Disk item and click OK. Within a few seconds, the selected
disk(s) should be marked as a Basic disk.
Note: The disk numbers in the Windows Disk Manager may be different from the Volume
numbers shown in the SteelVine Manager Status Window
, Basic Configuration Wizard, or
Advanced Configuration Wizard. Be sure that you select the correct disk based on the
expected disk capacity to create a partition.
3. Right-click the configured disk’s unallocated space and select New Partition. If the
New Partition option is not available, select the disk and initialize it first. To do this,
right-click on the disk item and select "Initialize Disk".
