When a message tells you that testing is complete, click Quit.

If the test reveals a problem, you may be able to correct it by using Disk
First Aid or another disk repair program (see the instructions in the next
section), or you may need to initialize the disk (see “Initializing a Hard
Disk” in Chapter 4). Consult an Apple-authorized service provider
for assistance if necessary. If you have a hard disk from another manufac-
turer, use the software that came with the disk or contact the disk vendor to
get the latest version of software.

How to repair a hard disk or floppy disk

You can repair some types of disk damage by using the Disk First Aid
program.

server from the

Workgroup Server Software CD-ROM disc.

For details, see “Starting Up From a CD-ROM Disc” in Chapter 4.

The Disk First Aid program resides in the Utilities folder in the Apple
Extras folder on your startup disk and on the Workgroup Server Software CD-
ROM disc.
