Problems With Hard Disks, CDs, and Other Storage Media

Problems With Hard Disks

Only one document called “Where have all my files gone?” appears on the hard

disk.

If no ﬁles appear on the hard disk except for a single document called “Where have all my

ﬁles gone?”, you started up your computer from a CD with system software earlier than

Mac OS 8.1. To see the contents of your disk, you must start up your computer from a disk

with Mac OS 8.1 (or later).
