Re: Formatting GS HD?



Todd:

    I just used a 20mb hard drive from an old Mac SE. Use the Apple Disk
Utilities program included on one of the //gs system disks (System.Tools1 I
think). Wipe the disk clean, then re-initialize it. Then install 6.0.1 from
the diskettes.

    I don't know what the partitioning limits are, but I have a single 20mb
partition and it works fine.
