Comment(by stippi):

 Open the "Terminal" application. At the prompt, type "DriveSetup" (case is
 important) and hit the Return/Enter key. This works because the path to
 the "DriveSetup" application in the file system is part of the "PATH"
 environment variable, which contains all paths that the Terminal searches
 for "commands". Commands are just regular programs without a graphical
 user interface. Most often, commands do something with the "standard
 input" and the "standard output", which has to do with the text in the
 Terminal, think of these as input and output data channels. The power of
 the Terminal is that multiple commands can be chained together by these
 channels, and entire programs can be formed by scripts of commands. You
 should look into it sometimes, it can be quite interesting and powerful!
 :-) DriveSetup outputs additional error information to the "standard
 output", which means into the Terminal if you launch it there. If you
 launch DriveSetup from Tracker/Deskbar, this output goes "nowhere" and
 stays invisible.
