Problems during installation

This section helps you solve problems you may encounter while installing
your software.

You can’t start up the computer using the

Mac OS 7.6 CD-ROM disc or the Mac OS 7.6

Install Disk 1 floppy disk.

Cause: Your computer located the system software on your hard disk before it
located the system software on the CD or floppy disk.

Solution: With the CD or floppy disk inserted, open the Startup Disk control
panel and click the CD or floppy disk icon. Then restart the computer.

If you do a normal installation, you’ll need to reselect your hard disk as the
startup disk after you install the software. Open the Startup Disk control panel
again and click the icon for your hard disk. Then restart your computer.

If you do a clean installation, you don’t need to reselect your hard disk as the
startup disk.
