Apple Drive Setup
The Apple Drive Setup utility enables you to initial-
ize an unformatted hard drive. The utility is installed
as a part of the Mac OS installation process and is
usually installed in the Utilities folder on the hard
drive of your active System Folder. As of version 1.4,
Drive Setup supports the formatting of Apple's
brand of hard drives as well as drives from third
party manufacturers. We recommend using the
latest version of Drive Setup which is available
from Apple's website at asu.info.apple.com.
To format your drive, follow these steps:
1. Double-click the Apple Drive Setup utility
icon to run the utility.
2. Select the drive you wish to format from
the Drive Setup window (Figure 1). A new
uninitialized hard drive will show up as
not initialized.
Support Note:
attached to the Tempo Ultra ATA66 will
register as a SCSI device to the computer. For
example, in Figure 1 the newly installed hard
drive shows up as <not initialized> under Volume
Name(s) and SCSI under Type.
3. Click the Initialize button to initialize the select-
ed hard drive (Figure 1).
4. Click Quit when you see the message reporting
that initialization was successful; the initialized
hard drive will appear on the desktop.
