Using Apple’s Disk Utility program (found in the Applications folder inside Utilities), the external backup drive 

may be formatted on Mac OS X. (Choose Mac Extended format.) When erasing the External drive with Apple 

Disk Utility, be sure to select the drive and not the volume. (Selecting the drive will repartition the drive). 

Do not use DOS format for backups.

While you can use Apple’s Disk Utility program to partition the FireWire backup drives, we do not recommend 

it. A  single  partition  is  optimal  for  the  backup  drive.  If  you  are  backing  up  multiple  computers,  and  want 

each backup to be bootable, see “Backing up Multiple Computers” in the manual for detailed instructions on 

installing BounceBack Software and partitioning the FireWire external drive.

Installing The BounceBack Software

The  BounceBack  Professional  “Double  Click  Me”  icon  should  appear  automatically.  If  it  doesn’t,  double 

click on the BounceBack Professional CD icon on the Desktop and then double click on the BounceBack 

Professional “Double Click Me” icon.

Click 

Install in the BounceBack Professional menu.

Follow the on-screen instructions to install the software.
