4.4 Formatting and Partitioning devices manually<br />

4.4.1 Formatting Devices<br />

Before a <strong>SCSI</strong> hard drive can be used on an Acorn computer it has to be formatted (all hard drives<br />

supplied by <strong>Castle</strong> Technology are pre-formatted). This can be achieved using <strong>SCSI</strong>DForm (supplied<br />

on the <strong>SCSI</strong> Utilities disc).<br />

I. Insert the <strong>SCSI</strong> utilities disc into the computer's floppy drive and click the Select button over the<br />

floppy drive Icon.<br />

2. locate <strong>SCSI</strong>DForm and click twice with Select over it.<br />

3. The program is now running - follow the steps one by one.<br />

4. When the program has finished remove the <strong>SCSI</strong> Utilities disc and use your new hard drive.<br />

4.4.2 Partitioning devices<br />

<strong>SCSI</strong>DForm allows the Hard drive to be partitioned with up to 8 partitions. Having run <strong>SCSI</strong>DForm<br />

you will be prompted with the following:<br />

Note: Partitioning the hard drive may cause data on other partitions to be deleted. Proceed with<br />

caution.<br />

Partitions found on the disc<br />

Number Size<br />

0 120.43<br />

S - split partition 0<br />

K - kill partition 0<br />

Z - finished<br />

To add a partition to the hard drive type<br />

s <br />

Then type in the new partition size eg:<br />

40 <br />

This can be repeated up to 8 times or until there is now space remaining to be allocated to partitions.<br />

4.5 <strong>SCSI</strong> from the desktop<br />

Once the configuration and formatting have been completed a <strong>SCSI</strong> Icon will appear on the Icon bar.<br />

Each Icon will represent a hard drive or partition of a hard drive. Clicking on any of the Icons will<br />

bring up the Directory viewer for that drive. Files, directories and applications can be used, copied,<br />

deleted etc in the normal way.<br />
