Before you begin
Before using Hard Disk ToolKit•
Personal Edition
, you should be familiar
with the Mac OS. An understanding of the basics of connecting and termi-
nating SCSI and IDE peripheral devices is also helpful. If you need more
information on the Mac OS, or the basics of connecting external SCSI
devices, see the manuals that were supplied with your computer.
Hard Disk ToolKit•
Personal Edition
software provides complete control
over your SCSI and IDE storage environment, but it cannot overcome
problems from incorrect hardware installation. For data integrity and peak
system performance, it is vital that your hardware is installed correctly.
Installing the latest Macintosh System Software
For information on installing the Mac OS software onto a hard disk, refer
to the user guide that was supplied with your computer.
Upgrading to Hard Disk ToolKit•
PE
versions 2.0 (and later)
Read this section if you have drives formatted with earlier versions of
Hard Disk ToolKit•
PE
or a non-FWB software product.
Information for owners of disk devices that are currently in use
Users of earlier versions of Hard Disk ToolKit•
PE
who do not want to
reformat their existing storage devices, but who do want the enhanced
functionality from the latest FWB driver, should use the
Update Driver
command. (See
Updating a Device’s Driver
in the online manual.) The
Update Driver command can also install an FWB driver onto a disk storage
device that was formatted with a non-HDT•
PE
product without having to
reformat the device.
Be sure to back up
all of your valuable data before
using the Update Driver command.
Back up all your valuable data before using the
Update Driver
command! Normally, the
Update Driver command will work as expected, and your existing data will be totally safe.
However, a device driver controls all access to the disk, and updating an older driver can put
your existing data at a small risk.
