Reinstalling the Software that Came with Your Computer
Use the software installation discs that came with your computer to reinstall Mac OS X
and the applications that came with your computer.
Important: Apple recommends that you back up the data on your hard disk before
restoring software. Apple is not responsible for any lost data.
Installing Mac OS X
To install Mac OS X:
1 Back up your important files, if possible.
2 Insert the Mac OS X Install Disc 1 that came with your computer.
3 Double-click “Install Mac OS X and Bundled Software.”
4 Follow the onscreen instructions.
5 Select the destination disk for installation and continue following the onscreen
instructions.
Your computer may restart and ask you to insert the next Mac OS X disc.
Important: Because the “Erase and Install” option erases your destination disk, you
should back up your essential files before installing Mac OS X and other applications.

computer must have Mac OS X already installed.
