root problem is the smartarray controller. &nbsp;you must use a non raid controller.<br />
<br />
please also clarify format. I am addressing performing the actual scsi format (media init) command. which will, as a result set every bit on the drive to 0 &amp;&nbsp;optionally rebuild the bad block table. &nbsp;

Basically I just want these drives ready to install a fresh OS on them im not fussed on making sure every piece of data is completly wiped forever.<br />
<br />
Could i not create a logical drive over the physical drives and then delete it? i noticed when i did this before i got a warning message saying something like &quot;&nbsp;if you delete this logical drive its contents will be deleted also&quot; and that is all i want.<br />
<br />
Thanks

Boot disk to format SCSI HDD's

Servers are computing devices that are similar to desktop computers in that they have the same basic components, but are significantly different in size, configuration and purpose. Servers are usually accessed over a network, and many run unattended, without a computer monitor, input device, audio hardware or USB interfaces. Many servers do not have a graphical user interface (GUI), and are configured and managed remotely. Servers typically include hardware redundancy such as dual power supplies, RAID disk systems, and ECC memory, along with extensive pre-boot memory testing and verification. Critical components might be hot swappable, and to guard against overheating, servers might have more powerful fans or use water cooling.

Computer data storage, often called storage or memory, is a technology consisting of computer components and recording media used to retain digital data. In addition to local storage devices like CD and DVD readers, hard drives and flash drives, solid state drives can hold enormous amounts of data in a very small device. Cloud services and other new forms of remote storage also add to the capacity of devices and their ability to access more data without building additional data storage into a device.
