#HOW TO REFORMAT MAC AIR 2ND GENERATION INSTALL#
When you install OS 9.it has a check box.for update drivers. The important thing to know for .you need to make sure that you update your drivers for each new OS install. You can install your system software right from the same cd. Now, you need to reinstall your OS software.and luckly.you have it right on the cd you started up from! So, that takes care of the initialization which will erase everything on your drive. Use FWB.or the ATTO software included on your PT cd. If you are using a true (as in hardware) 2nd drive.then its best not to initialize or format it with Apples drive setup. I put the OS and only essential files on the first 2 gig.and other apps.utilities on the 2nd one.

I have a 4 gig startup drive.partitioned into 2/2gig drives. I prefer to use the older HFS standard format for compatibility reasons. Now that your drive is n the drive setup thats in the util folders of the OS cd.and "reinitialize" the disk. Youll recognize this because of its different backround picture. Restart holding down the "c" key until you see it starting up from the CD. So, the way you do this is.take your OS cd.and put it in the cd drive. The deal is.you need to start up from another disk in order to repair.or.work on your mac. Basically, its like the diff between Windows Fat16 and Windows 98 Fat32. You have 2 diff file formats on a Mac HFS.and HFS+. Drive setup also allows you to partition your drive. A low level format is not usually needed. Mostly, all you need to do is "reinitialize the disk. Its in the utilities folder.and probably installed on your hard drive. There is a small utility that came with your computer.
