You inadvertently delete a program from your computer’s hard disk.

m You can replace any of the software that came with your computer by

dragging it from the Macintosh Performa CD: Performa Software to your
hard disk. See the section “Copying Files From the Performa Software
CD-ROM Disc to Your Hard Disk” in Chapter 7.

When you start up, a disk icon with a blinking question mark appears in the middle of
the screen and stays there for longer than 15 seconds.

This icon indicates that your Macintosh cannot find the system software it
needs to start up. One of the following is probably the cause:
m Your computer may be having a problem recognizing external SCSI (Small

Computer System Interface) equipment, such as hard disks, CD-ROM
drives, and scanners that you may have connected.

Shut down your computer, turn off all external SCSI equipment, and
disconnect the first SCSI device in the chain from your computer’s SCSI
port (marked with the g icon). Then restart the computer. If the computer
starts up after you disconnect your SCSI equipment, refer both to the
manuals that came with the equipment and Chapter 3 of this manual,
which has information on the proper way to connect SCSI equipment and
assign SCSI ID numbers.

If you have a printer connected to your computer’s SCSI port, make sure
your printer is connected properly. Most printers connect to the printer
port, not the SCSI port. Check the manuals that came with your printer for
information on how to connect it properly.
