CHAPTER 13-PREPARING AND USING HARD DISKS AND FLOPPY DISKS
This chapter explains how to prepare disks for use and gives you information
you'll need to use your disks correctly. Specifically, the chapter includes
information on
- preparing and using hard disks
- preparing and using floppy disks
- updating the system software on your disks
- customizing the system software on your disks
- designating one of your disks as a startup disk
- protecting the information on your disks
Preparing and using hard disks
Disks are devices your computer uses to store information. The two most
common types of Macintosh disks are hard disks and floppy disks.
A hard disk consists of one or more metal disks permanently sealed inside a
drive compartment. The drive's sealed environment permits extremely fast
reading and writing of information, and the disk or disks inside a hard disk
drive can store vastly more data than can a floppy disk. Some common
capacities for hard disk drives are 20 MB, 40 MB, 80 MB, and 160 MB.
There are two types of hard disks: internal hard disks and external hard
disks. The only difference is that internal hard disks are built into your
computer, whereas external hard disks are housed in a separate box which you
must attach to your computer. The instructions in this chapter apply to both
internal and external hard disks.
