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 Utilities floppy disk 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 Macintosh Performa CD.
1 Start up your computer from the
Utilities
disk or the
Macintosh Performa CD.
See “Starting Up From a CD-ROM Disc” or “Starting Up From a Floppy
Disk” in the section “Repairing a Damaged Disk,” earlier in this chapter.
2 Open the Apple HD SC Setup icon.
3Click 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.
4Click Initialize.
