How to verify and test a disk

disks. They can be found on the CD-ROM disc that contains system software.

To verify and test a disk, follow these steps:

Disk” later in this chapter.

m Double-click the Disk First Aid icon (you may need to look in a folder

called Disk Tools to find Disk First Aid).

m When the Disk First Aid window appears, click the icon of the disk you

want to verify, then click Verify.

the instructions in “How to Repair a Hard Disk or Floppy Disk” later in
this chapter.
