Apple Power Macintosh 4400 - Manual (Page 136)

Starting up from the Macintosh Restore CD
To test, repair, or initialize a hard disk, or to install system software on a
hard disk, you need to start up your computer from another disk. You can
start up your computer using the CD-ROM disc titled Macintosh Restore CD,
which came with your computer.
The procedure for starting up from the CD-ROM disc varies depending on
the condition of the system software on your hard disk. To find out which
procedure to use, you must turn on your computer.
Depending on what you see on your screen, choose the appropriate
instructions (next in this section).
If you see a blinking question mark on your screen
The blinking question mark means that your computer is unable to find
usable system software on your hard disk.
1 Press the Open/Close button of your CD-ROM drive to open the CD-ROM tray.
2 Place the Macintosh Restore CD in the tray with the disc label facing up.
Make sure the disc is lying flat in the tray.
3 To close the tray, push the tray in or press the Open/Close button.
Your computer recognizes the CD-ROM disc as a startup disk, and in a few
seconds the Macintosh desktop with a Launcher appears.
