Only one document called “Where have all my files gone?” appears on the hard
disk.
If no files appear on the hard disk except for a single document called “Where have all my
files gone?”, you started up your computer from a CD with system software earlier than
Mac OS 8.1. To see the contents of your disk, you must start up your computer from a disk
with Mac OS 8.1 (or later).
