I decided to remove raid from my machine because it has been causing me problems. I'd rather manage my drives myself. Now that I did that I need to get the superblocks reset somehow so that it will let me run an fsck.ext3. Id there an equivalent to a dos and windows format command which reinitializes a disk drive, or at least a partition? I wan a surface scan so that my drives can be initialized.
