Testing a hard disk

You can test a hard disk with the Apple HD SC Setup program,
which is on the system software disk labeled

Disk Tools.

1. Insert

Disk Tools in the floppy disk drive and start up

your computer.

2. Open the Apple HD SC Setup icon.

3. Click the Drive button until the disk you want appears.

4. Click Test.

5. 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, or you
may have to reinitialize the disk. Consult a specialist
for assistance if necessary.
