Initializing an external SCSI hard disk

You initialize an Apple external SCSI hard disk by using a program called Apple HD SC Setup, which is on the floppy disk labeled Disk Tools that came with your computer. If your computer came with a CD-ROM drive and you didn’t receive floppy disks, you can find Apple HD SC Setup on the CD-ROM disc that contains system software.

1Start up your computer from the Disk Tools disk or the CD-ROM disc that contains system software.

See “Starting Up From a CD-ROM Disc” or “Starting Up From a Floppy Disk” earlier in this section.

2Open the Apple HD SC Setup icon.

You may need to look in a folder called Utilities to find Apple HD SC Setup.

3Click Drive until the disk you want to initialize appears.

You cannot initialize the disk that you used to start up your computer or the disk that contains the Apple HD SC Setup program.
