Apple IIGS Set Boot Partition, Write Protect Partition, Park Heads

Again, use the up and down arrow keys to select the option. The different options and their functions are described below.

Set Boot Partition

Choose this option to select from which partition you want to boot. A check mark appears next to the partition currently set to boot.

To change the boot partition, follow these steps:

1)Use the up or down arrow keys to highlight the partition you want to set as the boot partition.

2)Use the left or right arrow key to move the check mark to the highlighted partition.

3)Press <return> to return to the Vulcan main menu or <esc> to leave the boot partition as it was.

*Note: You must set the Startup Slot (in the Slots option of the Control Panel menu) to the Vulcan’s slot before the partition boot setting will be active.

Write Protect Partition

Activating the write protect feature is the same in function as write protecting a floppy disk. You will not be able to store new information to the write protected partitions.

To write protect a partition, follow these steps:

1)Use the up or down arrow keys to highlight the partition you want to write protect.

2)Use the left or right arrow key to put an asterisk beside any partition you want to protect.

3)Press <return> to return to the Vulcan main menu or <esc> to leave the Write Protection menu as it was.

•Note: You must reboot before the write protection can take effect.

Park Heads

Parking the heads moves the read/write heads to a more durable part of the hard disk to reduce the risk of damaging the drives when the hard disk is being moved. You don’t really need to park the heads unless you plan to move your computer.
