2. On the Logical Drives screen, select the logical drive to be initialized.
3. Click in the box next to Initialize, then click on Go.
The progress of the initialization appears as a graph on the screen.

differences found in the data.
After you click on Check Consistency and the Go button, a progress chart displays on
