When should you reinstall system software?
If you have a problem with your system software, you may see this icon in the
middle of the screen:
If this icon appears, follow the instructions in “How to Repair a Hard Disk or
Floppy Disk” earlier in this chapter to test your startup hard disk and repair
any damage.
If repairing the disk doesnt help, follow the instructions in “Installing System
Software,” to reinstall system software on your startup hard disk.
Installing system software
Follow the steps in this section to do what is commonly called a “normal”
installation of system software.
If youre installing system software on a hard disk for the first time, make sure
that your hard disk has been initialized, a process that prepares the disk to
store information. If you see the hard disks icon on the desktop when you
start up the computer, the disk has been initialized. If no disk icon appears
when you start up, see the section “Initializing a Hard Disk” earlier in this
chapter for instructions.
To do a normal installation, follow these steps:
1 Start up your computer from the CD-ROM disc that contains system software.
See “Starting Up From a CD-ROM Disc” in the section “Initializing a Hard
Disk” earlier in this chapter.
2 Find and open the Disk First Aid icon.
You may need to look in a folder called Disk Tools to find Disk First Aid.
