Installing system software – Apple Macintosh LC 575 User Manual

If your Macintosh came with a CD-ROM drive, then you also
received a CD-ROM disc labeled

CD Install Me First. This disc

takes the place of multiple floppy disks, providing one permanent
backup source for important software. In addition, the CD
simplifies the process of reinstalling system software (should that
ever become necessary).

This section describes the contents of the

CD Install Me First disc

and explains how you can

m Use the CD Install Me First disc as your startup device
m Reinstall system software
m Create a set of floppy disks containing a copy of the system

software from your CD

m Create a copy of the Macintosh Basics tour

Your Macintosh came with all the necessary system software and
CD-ROM setup software installed and ready to use. Unless a
problem develops later, you don’t need to use the

CD Install Me

First disc to reinstall the software.

If you need to reinstall Macintosh system software, use the
instructions here rather than those contained in the

Macintosh

User’s Guide.

If you need to reinstall CD-ROM software, see the manual that
came with your CD-ROM drive.

S

Important: Do not use the

CD Install Me First disc as an

everyday startup device. Use it instead as the backup for your
system software files.
