Yes. Drive Setup should be in the utility folder on your os 9 cd.
You need to boot with os 9 cd.
When you initialize a HD all data on it will be lost.
Before you initialize and format the disk, save any software, to floppy,zip
or desktop or your backup drives that you want to save.
When you use Drive Setup it will search for the drives connected to your
computer. It will probably show the backup drives too.
DO not select the backup drives to be initialized.
When using Drive Setup be sure and use the option to update drivers.
Its ok to use update driver on the backup drives.
