Read this chapter only if you need
to reinstall system software
System software is the set of programs and other files that your computer uses
to start itself up, keep track of your files, and run the application programs
you use. System software is kept in the folder called the System Folder. When
you turn on your computer, it looks for a startup disk, which is a disk that
contains the system software. The startup disk is usually the hard disk that’s
inside your computer, though another hard disk or a floppy disk can also be
a startup disk.
The accessory kit that came with your Macintosh contains either a set of
floppy disks with the system software on them or a CD-ROM disc labeled
Power Macintosh CD. You can use the floppy disks or the CD-ROM disc to
install the system software on your Macintosh if you need to do so.
