Apple Power Macintosh 4400 - Manual (Page 126)

11 Make sure that the hard disk named in the Destination Disk box is the one on which you
want to install system software.
If it isn’t, click Switch Disk until the correct disk name appears.
12 Click Install.
13 Follow the onscreen instructions.
If you’re installing system software from floppy disks, you see messages
asking you to insert different disks.
14 When you see a message reporting that the installation was successful, click Restart.
If a message reports that installation was not successful, try installing again.
(Follow the instructions on the screen.)
If, after reinstalling system software by doing a normal installation, you still
experience problems with your computer, follow the steps in the next section
for doing a “clean” installation of system software.
IMPORTANT Certain system extensions or application programs that were
originally on your hard disk may not be installed with the Installer program.
If you notice that a certain extension or program was not installed, you may
need to install it separately. You can find these additional extensions and
programs on the CD-ROM disc or set of floppy disks that contains system
software. (System extensions or application programs from other vendors can
be reinstalled from their installation disks.) If you don’t have a CD-ROM
drive, see the service and support information that came with your computer
for information on how to contact Apple directly for assistance.
Doing a clean installation of system software
This section outlines what is commonly called a “clean” installation of system
software. A clean installation allows you to discover which item in your
System Folder is causing a problem. A clean installation creates a brand new
System Folder and saves everything in your original System Folder in a
different location. You can then follow the instructions in “Replacing Your
Special Software” later in this section to reinstall system extensions, control
panels, and other special software one at a time from the old System Folder to
the new System Folder. This procedure allows you to determine which item
in the old System Folder was the source of the problem.
