Installing or reinstalling CD-ROM software
CD-ROM software is a set of programs and files that allow your CD-ROM
player to work correctly with your computer and allow it to play different
kinds of CDs, like Photo CDs or audio CDs. If your computer came with a
CD-ROM player installed, the CD-ROM software is part of system software
and was pre-installed for you on your computer’s hard disk. (It is also
available on floppy disks and a CD-ROM disc that came with your
Macintosh.)
If you added a CD-ROM player after you bought your computer, the
CD-ROM software is probably on floppy disks that came with the player.
When should you install or reinstall CD-ROM software?
If your Macintosh came with the CD-ROM player already installed, you don’t
need to install the CD-ROM software unless you encounter problems. (See
“Solutions to CD-ROM Problems” earlier in this chapter for descriptions of
the kinds of problems you might encounter.)
If you added a CD-ROM player after you bought your computer, you should
install the CD-ROM software before you attempt to use the CD-ROM player.
Reinstalling CD-ROM software
1 Start up your computer from disk 1 of the set of system software disks that came with
your computer.
See “Starting Up From a Floppy Disk” in the section “Initializing a Hard
Disk” earlier in this chapter.
2 Click OK.
The Easy Install dialog box appears.
3 Choose Custom Install from the pop-up menu.
