Apple Power Macintosh 4400 - Manual (Page 97)

The hard disk icon does not appear on the desktop.
If you don’t see a hard disk icon on the desktop, try the following:
m Use the Drive Setup program to make the disk available. Drive Setup is on
the CD-ROM disc that contains system software. For instructions on using
Drive Setup, follow the instructions in “How to Verify and Test a Disk” in
the section “Testing and Repairing a Damaged Disk” later in this chapter.
m If the hard disk is internal, shut down your computer, wait at least ten
seconds, and then turn it on again.
m If the hard disk is external, make sure that it is turned on and that its cable
is connected firmly; then restart the Macintosh.
m Check the ID numbers of all SCSI equipment connected to your
computer. Each SCSI device must have its own unique ID number. See the
manuals that came with your SCSI equipment for information on setting
SCSI ID numbers.
m If the hard disk is your startup disk, start up your computer with the
CD-ROM disc that contains system software. Do this by inserting the
CD-ROM disc into the drive and holding down the C key while you restart
the computer. Then follow the instructions in “Testing and Repairing a
Damaged Disk” later in this chapter to test your startup hard disk and
repair any damage.
If repairing the disk doesn’t help, follow the instructions later in this
chapter for reinstalling system software on your startup hard disk.
Icons do not appear correctly on your screen.
You need to rebuild the desktop—a process that helps your Macintosh
keep track of files and folders on your hard disk. For instructions, see
“Rebuild Your Desktop” in the section “When You Run Into Trouble” earlier
in this chapter.
If icons do not appear correctly after you rebuild the desktop, try rebuilding a
second time.
You inadvertently delete a program from your computer’s hard disk.
You can replace any of the software that came with your computer by dragging
it from the CD-ROM disc that contains system software to your hard disk.
