Apple Power Macintosh 4400 - Manual (Page 107)

Protect the information on your hard disk
If your hard disk becomes damaged, you can use the Macintosh Restore CD to
reinstall the software that came with your computer—but the personalized
documents that you have created could be lost if you don’t keep backup
copies. To avoid this loss, copy your documents frequently onto backup disks.
See the section “Protecting the Information on a Disk” in Chapter 4.
Create a startup floppy disk
The Macintosh Restore CD contains a disk copy 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 a future time to start up from the CD-ROM disc.
See the text file in the Disk Images folder for instructions on using the disk
copy program to make a startup floppy disk.
If you still have problems
If you don’t see the Macintosh desktop on your screen, or if the Macintosh
still does not start up properly, see the section “Repairing a Damaged Disk” in
Chapter 9.
If you are able to repair the hard disk, try again to restore the information on
it by following the instructions in the section “Reinstalling All Your Original
Software,” earlier in this chapter,
If you are not able to repair the hard disk, call Apple for help. See the service
and support information that came with your computer.
