Why do I get a message that says my hard drive needs to be updated when I try to turn on Virtual Memory (VM)?
DISCUSSION
If you have not initialized your hard drive with a System 7 compatible version of the hard drive formatting software, you may need to do so before the system allows you to activate virtual memory.
If you have a third-party (non-Apple) hard drive, you may need to obtain from the manufacturer an updated version of the correct formatting software for that drive. If you have an Apple hard drive, you can update your hard drive software using the instructions below. The process does not affect the data on your hard drive, and it is very simple.
1) Locate the System 7 disk marked "Disk Tools".
2) Restart your computer with the "Disk Tools" floppy.
3) Launch the application HD SC Setup.
4) Click the "Update" button.
5) Click Quit.
If you are moving from System 6.0.x to ANY version of Sytem 7.x, you can follow these steps.
