How to initialize a hard disk
You initialize an Apple SCSI hard disk by using a program called
Drive Setup, which is on the floppy disk labeled Disk Toolstha t came with
your computer. If your computer came with a CD-ROM drive and you didn’t
receive floppy disks, you can find Drive Setup on the CD-ROM disc that
contains system software. (To initialize a hard disk from another
manufacturer, use the utility software that came with the hard disk.)
1Start up your computer from the
Disk Tools
disk or the CD-ROM disc that contains
system software.
See “Starting Up From a Floppy Disk” or “Starting Up From a CD-ROM
Disc” earlier in this section.
2Open the Drive Setup icon.
You may need to look in a folder called Utilities to find Drive Setup.
3In the list of drives, click the disk you want to initialize.
4Click Initialize to initialize the hard disk.
5Click Quit when you see a message reporting that initialization was successful.
If a message reports that initialization failed, try again. Ifinitialization
fails a second time, take the disk to your Apple-authorized service provider
for repair.
