Restoring the information on your hard disk

If information on your hard disk becomes damaged or lost, you can restore
it if you have a backup copy of the information. The Macintosh Performa CD
contains copies of all the system software and application programs that came
with your computer. See the Macintosh Performa CD booklet for instructions
on using the Macintosh Performa CD.

If you used Apple Backup to copy the information on your hard disk to floppy
disks, you can use the Apple Restore program to put that information back on
your hard disk. You can also use Apple Backup and Apple Restore to replace
only the System Folder (the folder that contains the software the Macintosh
uses to operate). See the following section, “Using Apple Restore,” for
instructions.

Using Apple Restore

To restore information from the backup floppy disks you made with Apple
Backup, follow these steps:

1

Make sure your Macintosh is turned off.

2

Insert the

Macintosh Performa CD into your computer’s CD-ROM drive.

3

Turn on your Macintosh.

4

Immediately press and hold down the

x

(Command), Shift, Option, and Delete keys (all at

the same time).

This key combination tells your computer not to use its internal hard disk as
its startup device.

5

As soon as the smiling Macintosh appears on your screen, release the keys.

Your computer recognizes the CD as its startup device, and in a few seconds
the Macintosh desktop with a Launcher appears.
