Restoring your complete system
Before you begin, you must format your system hard drive and
install your operating system. If you had multiple partitions on your
hard drive(s), you must create and format the same number of disk
partitions. These partitions must be of equal or greater size to what
they were on your original system. For information on how to
partition and format your system drive, see the Maxtor
Knowledgebase online at: http://www.maxtorkb.com.
Most Macintosh computers are setup at the factory with
only one partition per hard drive. If you did not have multiple
partitions on any of your hard drives, all you have to do is
reformat your hard disk(s) and re-install your Macintosh
operating system. For more information, see your
Macintosh manual.
