Testing for damage on your hard disk
You can test a hard disk for damage with the Drive Setup program, which is
on the system software CD-ROM disc that came with your computer.
1
Start up your computer from the system software CD-ROM disc that came with
your computer.
See “Starting Up From the System Software CD-ROM Disc” later in
this chapter.
2
Locate the Drive Setup icon and double-click it to open the Drive Setup program.
3
In the list of drives, click the disk you want to test.
4
From the Functions menu, choose Test Disk.
5
When a message tells you that the 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 (see the instructions in the next section)
or you may need to reinitialize the disk (see “Initializing a Hard Disk” later in
this chapter). Consult an Apple-authorized service provider for assistance if
necessary. If you had a hard disk from another manufacturer installed after
you bought your computer, use the software that came with the disk or contact
the disk vendor to get the latest version of software.
