Apple Macintosh Perfoma 600 Series - Manual (Page 2)

If you ever need to reinitialize your computer’s internal hard disk…
Your computer’s internal hard disk has already been initialized. If you ever
need to reinitialize it, follow the instructions below. (Remember that when
you reinitialize a hard disk, you erase all the information on it.)
1 Make sure your computer is off.
2 Insert the Utilities floppy disk into the disk drive, or the Macintosh Performa CD into the
CD drive.
Whether you use the Utilities disk or the Macintosh Performa CD depends on
where the Internal HD Format program is located.
3 Turn on your computer.
4 Locate the Internal HD Format icon.
5 Open the Internal HD Format icon by double-clicking it.
6 Type a name for your disk in the name box.
7 If you want to make sure that none of the hard disk’s original data is recognizable after
reinitialization, choose Zero Data in the Options menu.
If you choose Zero Data, initialization may take a few minutes. (If you don’t
choose Zero Data, initialization will take less than 30 seconds.)
8 Click Initialize.
A message informs you that initializing the disk erases all information on it.
9 Click OK.
10 When the initialization is complete, click Done.
If a message reports that initialization failed, try again. If initialization fails a
second time, call your Apple-authorized service provider. (See the service and
support information that came with your computer.)
