Updating the Hard Disk Drivers

CD,” on page 45.)
2 Locate the Drive Setup icon and double-click it to open the Drive Setup program.
3 In the list of drives, click the disk you want to update.
4 From the Functions menu, choose Update Driver.
A message appears saying the new driver won’t be available until you restart your computer.
5 Restart your computer. (See “Restart the computer.” on page 12.)
Initializing a Hard Disk
The hard disk inside your computer was initialized (formatted for use) at the factory, so you
should need to initialize it only if your hard disk is damaged and can’t be repaired with Disk
First Aid (or another disk repair program).
You can initialize your internal hard disk using a program called Drive Setup, which is on the
software install CD that came with your computer.
Warning Initializing a disk erases all information on the disk. Before initializing your
disk, recover all the information you can and copy it to another disk or a network file
server.
