Apple Workgroup Server 6150/66 - Manual (Page 70)

If you still have a problem, try the following:
m If the hard disk is external, make sure it is turned on and its cable is
connected firmly and properly terminated; then restart the server.
m Check the ID numbers of all SCSI equipment connected to your server. See
the information on SCSI devices in Chapter 3 of this book.
m If the hard disk is your startup disk, start up your server with the Workgroup
Server Software CD-ROM disc (see “Starting Up From the CD-ROM
Drive” later in this chapter). Then see “Repairing a Damaged Disk” (later in
this chapter). If repairing the disk doesn’t help, follow the instructions in
“Reinstalling System Software” (also later in this chapter).
IMPORTANT If the hard disk in question has been initialized for use with RAID
volumes, you won’t see an icon for it on the desktop until you create at least
one RAID volume on that disk.
Icons do not appear correctly on your screen.
You need to “rebuild the desktop”—a process that helps your server keep track
of files and folders on your hard disks.
m Hold down the Option and x (Command) keys while starting up your
server. Keep holding down the keys until you see a message asking whether
you want to rebuild the desktop. Click OK.
Your server can’t read a floppy disk.
If you see a message that a floppy disk is unreadable, try one of the following:
m Insert the disk again—sometimes that’s all it takes.
m If the disk has never been used, you may simply need to initialize it. See the
instructions for preparing a disk listed in the “Files” topic of Macintosh
Guide, available in the Guide menu.
m Insert the disk in another computer’s disk drive. If that computer can use the
disk, make a copy of the data and put the copy on a different floppy disk.
m You may need to repair the disk because it is damaged. For information
on testing and repairing disks, see “Repairing a Damaged Disk” later in
this chapter.
