Apple Macintosh PowerBook 1400 - Manual (Page 128)

Installing a customized system: The Install Mac OS program installs the
software recommended for your model of computer. You can use the
Customize option to choose exactly which software to install. For instructions,
see “Doing a Custom Installation” later in this chapter.
2 Click Start to install the software you selected.
The Install Mac OS program checks your destination disk for any problems
and repairs them, if necessary. After your disk is tested, the software you
selected is installed.
If your disk has problems that can’t be repaired: Use a disk repair utility to see
if it can repair the disk. If you don’t have a disk repair utility, or if that utility
can’t repair the disk either, you may need to reinitialize the hard disk. To
reinitialize the hard disk, first back up your hard disk because reinitializing
erases everything on the disk. Next, use Drive Setup (available on the Disk
Tools floppy disk or on the CD) to reinitialize the hard disk. Then reinstall
system software and your application programs.
3 When the installation is complete, restart your computer.
If, after reinstalling system software by doing a normal installation, you still
experience problems with your computer, follow the steps in the next section
for doing a “clean” installation of system software.
