# Initializing a logical drive

Use this action to initialize a logical drive. Initialization is usually automatic when you create a logical drive. The ServeRAID Manager displays the action "Initialize logical drive" only when the Automatic initialization check box is deselected in the "User preferences" window.

Attention: Initializing a logical drive erases the first 1024 sectors on the drive and prevents access to any data previously stored on the drive.

1. In the tree, click (logical drive).
2. Right-click Initialize logical drive.
3. Click Yes.
