Checking for damage on your hard disk
You can test a hard disk for damage with the Drive Setup program, which is
on the Macintosh Performa CD that came with your computer.
1 Start up your computer from the
Macintosh Performa CD
.
See “Starting Up From a CD-ROM Disc” earlier in this section.
2 Open the Drive Setup program.
You may need to look in a folder called Utilities to find Drive Setup.
3 In the list of drives, click the disk you want to test.
4 Choose Test Disk from the Functions menu.
5 When a message tells you that the testing is complete, click Quit.
If the test reveals a problem, you may be able to correct it by using Disk First
Aid or another disk repair program (see the instructions in the next section),
or you may need to reinitialize the disk (see “Initializing a Hard Disk” later in
this chapter). Consult an Apple-authorized service provider for assistance if
necessary. If you had a hard disk from another manufacturer installed after
you bought your computer, use the software that came with the disk or contact
the disk vendor to get the latest version of software.
