The nokeep option tells the utility to free any data on the second disk. The
second disk becomes a new empty disk that you can format and use as a simple volume.
clean [all] Removes the partition and volume formatting on the disk with focus. The system
overwrites the Master Boot Record (MBR) partitioning information and hidden section
information on MBR disks. The system overwrites the GPT partitioning information, including
the Protective MBR, on GPT disks. A GPT disk doesn??™t include hidden sector information. The
system completely erases the disk when you use the all option.
convert basic [noerr] Converts an empty dynamic disk into a basic disk.
NOTE The system won??™t convert a disk that has data on it. Back up the hard drive data and remove
the partitions and volumes before you perform a conversion. This same note holds true for any
conversion you want to perform.
convert dynamic [noerr] Converts an empty basic disk into a dynamic disk.
convert gpt [noerr] Converts an empty basic disk that relies on the MBR partition style
into an empty basic disk that relies on the GPT partition style.
TIP The GPT partition style has significant advantages over the MBR partition style.
