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 the section “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.
