Apple IIGS: When One Hard Drive Shows Two Icons



I have an Apple IIGS with 1.25MB RAM, a 3.5-inch floppy drive, 5.25-inch
floppy drive, and an HD 20SC hard disk.

I removed all data from the HD 20SC to install System 5.0. Now, I see
multiple hard-drive icons. What happened? Should I re-format the disk?

Most likely, you accidentally created more that one partition. (This may
also have happened if the drive was previously used on another operating
system, such as the Macintosh OS.)

You need to go back to Advance Disk Utilities and select Partition. Remove
all partitions, then create a new one.
