After this primary and automatic setup process, you will find the parameters of your
hard disk displayed on the top of the screen, right below the screen title. The only
work that is left for you is to setup the number of partitions and their sizes.
1. Press the

key to enter the partition editor.
2. Now you can press

to add a partition or

to delete the current partition highlighted.
You cannot add a new partition as long as the last partition created is still zero
blocks large. If the number of blocks is greater than zero, the partition is considered
as valid, and a new one can be added. Use the
← →
keys with or without the

and

keys to adjust the sizes of the partitions.
The
↑ ↓
keys let you choose the partition to be modified. While you are setting
up the partition sizes, you will find the total free number of blocks for your hard disk
being growing or shrinking. You can add as many blocks as you like until the total
free number of blocks is zero. You can hear a small beep if something is out of
range. When you have finished creating your partition set, press

or

to leave
the partition editor. The light bar goes back to the menu list.
Now it's time to save the information you just created.
Use Menu Item Write Configuration to write your partition map and operating
parameters to hard disk. The program should report success.
Leave the Installer program by pressing

or using the Menu Item QUIT and
confirm quitting. This is the only way you should shut down this program.
Reboot your Apple II ( this is required before the IDE drive(s) can be recognized by
the MicroDrive Turbo Card).
At this time, trying to boot from the
MicroDrive Turbo
Card ends in the message
Volume not formatted or Unable to load ProDOS . This is OK. So you will still have
to boot from another System volume such as a System Disk or another hard disk.
Use any formatting utility to format your partitions.
You can use GS/OS and the FINDER, the Advanced Disk Utilities or PROSEL-16 for
formatting your volumes. The default boot volume is volume (partition) number one.
Holding down the

key or the Option key while booting lets you choose an
alternate boot volume by pressing the corresponding key for the volume number.
After a complete GS/OS system has been installed on the first partition, the
MicroDrive Turbo Card is ready for booting. To install GS/OS correctly you must use
the GS/OS Installer, the Finder or another 16-bit program (such as ProSel-16) which
is able to copy resource forked files.
