Macintosh User’s Guide

Update:

The

Utilities

Floppy Disk and Using Internal HD Format

Your Macintosh Performa user’s guide refers to the Utilities floppy disk. If

your computer came with a CD-ROM drive, you may have either a Utilities

floppy disk or a Macintosh Performa CD. If you do not have a Utilities disk,

you can find the same programs on the Macintosh Performa CD.

This update describes how to use Internal HD Format, a program that is

either on your Utilities disk or your Macintosh Performa CD. You should locate

this program and make a note of where it is, in case you need it someday.

IMPORTANT

Chapter 11 in your Macintosh Performa user’s guide tells how to

initialize a hard disk using the Apple HD SC Setup program. Your computer

has an internal IDE hard disk rather than an internal SCSI hard disk. Follow

the instructions in your Macintosh Performa user’s guide only if you want to

initialize or reinitialize an external Apple SCSI hard disk. Follow the

instructions in this update if you ever need to reinitialize your computer’s

internal hard disk.

Checking for damage on the disk

You can use the Internal HD Format program at any time to check for

damaged blocks (segments of the hard disk that cannot reliably be used to

store information). To do this, choose Scan All Blocks in the Functions menu.

(When the program finds damaged blocks, it marks them so the computer

will know not to store information in them. This process does not harm any

data on the hard disk.)
