At this time, the Performa Restore application does not permit you to choose the volume on which to restore the System Software or All Software. The restoration application defaults to the internal hard disk and then to the first created partition on this disk.
However, there are two different methods you can use if you have to restore to a volume other than the internal hard drive's first partition.
* You can manually drag the necessary software from the "Hard Disk Files" folder on the Performa CD-ROM disc to the preferred volume.
* Once you start-up using the Performa CD-ROM disc, each of the hard disk volumes will appear on the desktop. Simply drag each volume, except the one you wish to restore to, into the Trash. If the volumes are not mounted, the Restore applications will not see them, and will not try to restore to them.
Note that if you subsequently run Disk First Aid or Drive Setup, the volumes may get mounted.
