Restoring the information on your hard disk

If information on your hard disk becomes damaged or lost, you can restore
it if you have a backup copy of the information. If your computer has a
CD-ROM drive, the Macintosh Performa CD contains copies of all the system
software and application programs that came with your computer. See the
Macintosh Performa CD booklet for instructions on using the Macintosh
Performa CD.

If your computer doesn’t have a CD-ROM drive and you have used Apple
Backup to copy the information on your hard disk to floppy disks, you can use
the Apple Restore program to put that information back on your hard disk.
You can also use Apple Backup and Apple Restore to replace only the System
Folder (the folder that contains the software the Macintosh uses to operate).
See the following section, “Using Apple Restore,” for instructions.

If your computer doesn’t have a CD-ROM drive and you have not used Apple
Backup to back up the contents of your hard disk, call the customer support
hotline. (The phone number for the hotline is in the service and support
information that came with your computer.)
