Starting up from a floppy disk

To test, repair, or initialize a hard disk, or to install system software on a hard
disk, you need to start up your computer from another disk. If you don’t have
a built-in CD-ROM drive, you can start up the computer using the Utilities
floppy disk that came with your computer.

To start up your computer using the Utilities floppy disk, follow these steps:

1

Shut down your computer.

2

Insert the

Utilities disk into the disk drive.

3

Turn the computer on.

It takes several moments for your computer to start up from the Utilities disk.
