Apple Macintosh Performa 6400 Series - Manual (Page 121)

Note: Your Performa Software CD-ROM disc may contain other programs,
such as Drive Setup and Disk First Aid. These programs are used for testing
and repairing disks, as described in the section “Repairing a Damaged Disk”
in Chapter 6.
For information about programs on either of the Macintosh Performa CDs, see
any Read Me files that may accompany them on the CD-ROM disc.
Protecting the information on your hard disk
If your hard disk becomes damaged, you can use both Macintosh Performa
CDs to reinstall the software that came with your computer—but the
documents that you have created could be lost if you don’t keep backup
copies. Be sure to copy your documents frequently onto backup disks. See the
section “Protecting the Information on a Disk” in Chapter 4.
Creating a startup floppy disk
The Macintosh Performa CD: Performa Software contains a program (in the
Disk Images folder) that enables you to create a floppy disk that you can use
to start up your computer. You may want to create a startup floppy disk to use
in case you are unable at some time to start up from the CD-ROM disc.
See the text file in the Disk Images folder for instructions on using the
program to make a startup floppy disk.
