[comp.sys.mac.system] 1K after initialization of a HD disk

e5tx@vax5.cit.cornell.edu (05/15/91)

I have a HD disk that after I initialize, only 1 K is in the disk whileas a
normal HD disk should have 12K occupied after initialization.  When I used Norton
Utilities to check my disk, it told me that the boot block has problem.  But
the initialization was successful.  What's wrong with my disk?

Nothing wrong.  You've installed System 7.  You have not gotten a compatable
version of Norton Utilities.  Nothing broke, nothing needs fixing.
