5. Choose Restart from the Special menu.
The Macintosh automatically ejects any disk in its disk drive and
restarts.
❖ Why did the new Apple IIe ProDOS partition disappear? Your
Macintosh can’t display ProDOS files until you’ve installed the
Apple IIe Card software. In the next chapter, you will install the
software for the Apple IIe Card. Meanwhile, even though you
can’t see it, the ProDOS partition is still there.
❖
You can now use your Apple IIe partition to store any Apple IIe files
and programs. For details, see Appendix B, “Using a Hard Disk.”
Rebuilding your system
Sometimes copying a System Folder onto floppy disks and then back to
your hard disk, as you did in the previous sections, can cause problems
such as system crashes. If so, or if you want to prevent such problems,
you may want to rebuild your system.
To rebuild your system, use the Installer program that came with your
Macintosh (or with your most recent version of system software) to
reinstall system software. See the manuals that came with your Macintosh
(or with your most recent version of system software) for instructions.
Check the index and table of contents for entries like “installing system
software” or “reinstalling system software.”
What to do next
If you have any Apple IIe devices to connect to your Macintosh LC, such
as disk drives or joysticks, continue with this chapter. Otherwise, you can
go to Chapter 2, “Preparing the Software.”
