Apple Drive Setup
The Apple Drive Setup utility allows you to initialize
an unformatted hard drive. The utility is installed
as a part of the Mac OS installation process and is
usually installed in the Utilities folder on the hard
drive of your active System Folder. As of version 1.4,
Drive Setup supports the formatting of Apple’s
brand of hard drives as well as drives from third
party manufacturers. We recommend using the
latest version of Drive Setup which is available
from Apple’s website at http://asu.info.apple.com/
To format your drive, follow these steps:
1. Double-click the Apple Drive Setup utility
icon to run the utility.
2. Select the drive you wish to format from
the Drive Setup window (Figure 1). A new
uninitialized hard drive will show up as
not initialized.
3. From Functions in the menu bar, select
Initialization Options… (Figure 2).
4. The Initialization Options window will appear
(Figure 3). Select Low Level Format and click
OK to begin formatting the drive.
Support Note: An IDE hard drive
attached to the Tempo Ultra ATA66
will register as a SCSI device to the computer. For
example, in Figure 1 the newly installed hard drive
shows up as under Volume
Name(s) and SCSI under Type.
Support Note: A low level format is not
usually necessary with a new/uninitialized
drive; in general, this step ensures that bad blocks
of data are mapped out on the drive.
