Restoring the information on your hard disk
If information on your hard disk becomes damaged or lost, you
can restore it if you have a backup copy of the information. You
can use the program called PowerBook 145B Backup that came
with your Macintosh to make a backup copy of the information on
your hard disk. The program called PowerBook 145B Restore can
put that information back on your hard disk.
You can also use PowerBook 145B Backup to make a copy of your
System Folder (the folder that contains the software the
Macintosh uses to operate). If your Macintosh does not start up
any more, replacing the System Folder may solve the problem.
You can use PowerBook 145B Restore to replace the damaged
System Folder on your hard disk.
For instructions on using PowerBook 145B Backup, see
“Protecting the Information on a Disk” earlier in this chapter.
S Important: If at any time during restoring, you see a
message reporting that the hard disk is damaged or
unreadable, turn to “Testing and Repairing Disks” later in this
chapter.
