Installing or Reinstalling System Software
Your SuperMac C500 came with all the necessary system software
installed on its internal hard disk, so you don’t need to install system
software on that disk unless you encounter software problems.
If you have a new hard disk or a newly initialized hard disk that does
not contain system software, or if you want to upgrade to a more recent
version of system software on a hard disk, follow the steps in this sec-
tion to do what is commonly called a “normal” installation of system
software.
To do a normal installation of system software, follow these steps:
1.
Start up your computer from the CD-ROM disc that con-
tains system software.
See “Starting up from a CD-ROM disc” earlier in this chapter.
2.
Find and open the Disk First Aid
™
icon.
You may need to look in a folder called Utilities to find Disk First
Aid.
After Disk First Aid starts, follow the instructions on the screen.
Disk First Aid checks your hard disk for any problems.
3.
When Disk First Aid has finished checking your hard
disk, choose Quit from the File menu.
4.
Open the HDT Primer PE p
rogram.
You use the HDT Primer PE program to update your hard disk
driver.
5.
In the list of drives, click your startup disk.
6.
From t he File m enu, c hoose Update Driver.
7.
When the update process is finished, quit
HDT Primer
PE.
