How to test a hard disk

You can test an Apple SCSI hard disk with the Apple HD SC Setup program, which is on the floppy disk labeled Disk Tools that came with your computer. If your computer has a built-in CD-ROM drive, and you didn’t receive floppy disks, you can find the Apple HD SC Setup program 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” in the section “Initializing a Hard Disk” earlier in this chapter.

2 Open the Apple HD SC Setup icon.

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

3 Click Drive until the disk you want appears.

SCSI ID number of the currently selected hard disk (The number of the internal hard disk is 0.)

Name of the currently selected hard disk

4Click Test.

5When a message tells you that testing is complete, click Quit.
