Preparing Your Drive for Use: Mac OS 9 Users

Re-initializing your drive using Erase Disk (Mac OS 9
Users)

Your new drive should have automatically mounted on the desktop as
a Glyph volume. We advise that you give it a recognizable name or
number on your desktop.

Your drive is a single volume by default. To re-initialize your drive, use
the following procedure.

AUTION

This procedure will destroy any data currently on the drive. Before
formatting a drive, save any important data it contains.

Select the volume by clicking on it once in the Finder

Go to the Special menu and select Erase Disk...

The Erase Disk dialog box opens to verify your decision to erase
the disk.

In the Name field, enter the new name for the disk or leave the
name as it is.

In the Format drop-down menu, choose an Extended volume

All Glyph drives are formatted at the factory as Extended volumes.

Click Erase.

The disk is now erased and should mount on your desktop with
the new volume information.
