Before you use Drive Setup to perform an extended operation, such as testing the disk, open the Energy Saver control panel and select Never for the Hard Disk Sleep option to prevent the hard disk from spinning down before Drive Setup is finished. Manually mounting volumes Drive Setup allows you to partition a hard disk into several volumes when you initialize the disk. You can also select whether or not to mount a volume automatically when you start up your computer by using the Automount on startup option. Beginning with Drive Setup 1.3, a more reliable method of mounting volumes automatically is being used, to ensure correct operation with virtual memory. However, you can use Drive Setup to mount volumes manually.
Some computers come with additional software installed.
If you want to reinstall this additional software using the restore CD that came with your computer, quit Drive Setup before you reinstall the software. Icons will not appear on the desktop if Drive Setup is open when you reinstall the software. Waiting for initialization to complete Sometimes Drive Setup indicates that it has finished initializing a disk when it has not completely finished. Wait for your new volumes to appear in the Finder before continuing. Version 1.5 Added support for Power Macintosh G3 computers.
