Chapter 3 Hard Drive Initializing For your computer to properly recognize a hard drive it will need to be initialized with drive formatting software.

Page 22: Apple Drive Setup
Support Note: An IDE hard drive 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. - Page 23 After the hard drive is initialized you can either partition the drive or quit the Drive Setup utility to begin using the drive. Partitioning a drive effectively creates separate volumes (“disks”) that mount to the desktop. For example, you could partition the drive into two volumes, one for applications and one for documents.
