How to test a hard disk
You can test an Apple SCSI hard disk with the Apple HD SC Setup program,
which is on the Utilities floppy disk that came with your computer. If your
computer has a built-in CD-ROM drive, and you didn’t receive floppy disks,
you can find the Apple HD SC Setup program on the Macintosh Performa CD.
1 Start up your computer from the
Utilities
disk or the
Macintosh Performa CD
.
See “Starting Up From a CD-ROM Disc” or “Starting Up From a Floppy
Disk” earlier in this section.
2 Open the Apple HD SC Setup icon.
3Click Drive until the disk you want appears.
4 Click Test.
5When a message tells you that 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.
