Changing the Startup Disk

The AppleShare IP 6.0 servers use several files located in the System Folder of your startup
disk. If you change your startup disk after you install any of the AppleShare IP server
programs, you need to install AppleShare IP 6.0 on the new startup disk and copy certain
files and folders from the old startup disk to the new startup disk.

This appendix provides instructions for two scenarios:

m adding a new disk, making it the startup disk, and keeping the old disk

m replacing the startup disk

Depending on whether you add or replace a startup disk and which AppleShare IP servers
your computer is running, you may skip some of the steps in this appendix.

To change the startup disk, follow these steps:

1

Shut down your computer and connect the hard disk you want to use as the startup disk.

See the manual that came with your computer for detailed instructions.

2

Restart your computer.

3

Make sure that the new hard disk has a name that is different from the startup disk.

4

Install Mac OS 8.1 (which includes Open Transport 1.3) and AppleShare IP software on the
new hard disk.

For instructions, see “Installing AppleShare IP 6.0 Software” on page 25.

5

Drag a copy of the Users & Groups Data File from the Preferences folder inside the System
Folder on your startup disk to the Preferences folder inside the System Folder on the new
hard disk.

6

If your computer is being used to run the Web & File Server, drag a copy of the AppleShare
IP Preferences folder from the Preferences folder inside the System Folder on your startup
disk to the Preferences folder inside the System Folder on the new hard disk.

7

If you are replacing your startup disk and if your computer is being used to provide Web
service, drag a copy of the current Web Folder from your startup disk to the new hard disk.
