Apple Power Macintosh 4400 - Manual (Page 99)

99 Reinstalling Your Computer’s Software
The “If You Still Have Problems” section at the end of this chapter tells
you what to do if the CD-ROM disc does not solve the problems with
your computer.
Using the CD-ROM disc to start up your computer
Before you reinstall software onto your hard disk, you need to start up your
computer with the Macintosh Restore CD. 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.
If you see a blinking question mark on the screen
The blinking question mark means that your computer is unable to find
usable system software on your hard disk.
Note: If you don’t see a blinking question mark, go to the next section,
“If You See the Macintosh Desktop.”
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.
