Apple Macintosh PowerBook 1400 - Manual (Page 118)

Testing your hard disk
The following steps will help you determine whether you have a problem
with your hard disk or a problem with the system software on your hard disk.
1 Start up your computer from the CD-ROM disc or the Disk Tools floppy disk that came
with your computer.
If you’re starting up from the CD, hold down the x-Shift-Option-Delete keys
as the computer starts up.
If the computer starts up normally, you may have a problem with the system
software on your hard disk. If the computer starts up but you don’t see the
hard disk icon, you may have a problem with the hard disk.
If the computer doesn’t start up normally, you may have a problem with
equipment connected to your PowerBook. See “Problems with Equipment
Connected to Your Computer” in Chapter 6. If nothing is connected, your
computer may need repair. Contact an Apple-authorized service provider, or
call the Apple Assistance Center.
2 Open the Drive Setup icon on the CD or floppy disk.
You may need to look in a folder called Utilities to find Drive Setup.
Note: If you’re using the CD, you can get on-screen help for the Drive Setup
application program by choosing the Drive Setup Guide, available in the
Guide (h) menu when Drive Setup is the active application. The on-screen
instructions are not available when you use Drive Setup on the Disk Tools
floppy disk.
