How to initialize a hard disk

You initialize an Apple 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.

1

Start 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.

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 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.

4

Click Initialize.
