Subject: [G] Hard Drive Wipeout
I want to wipeout a hard drive that is in a Yosemite G3 power Mac. I
need
someone to tell me how to do this is very simple terms. Assume I know
only a
smidgen, which is true. Thanks.
What OS is running on it right now?
I don't think you want to wipe the drive if it is the only one, or the
one with the OS on it. Your computer will not start up without an OS or
at least the optical drive drivers on board. You can boot from an OS CD
or DVD (in the case of Tiger), and initialize the drive and install a
new OS if that's what you want to do, but you will lose everything on
the HD and have to reinstall the OS.
You need to be a bit more clear about your intentions, what you
actually want to do.
All the best,
Ken N.
