Installing system software
Follow the steps in this section to do a normal installation of system
software (also known as an “Easy Install”).
If you are installing system software on a hard disk for the first
time, make sure that your hard disk has been initialized. This is a
process that prepares the disk to store information. When you start
up the computer and see the hard disk’s icon on the desktop, the
disk has been initialized. If no disk icon appears, see Initializing a
hard disk on page 6-42 for instructions.
To do a normal installation, follow these steps:
1. Start up your computer from the CD-ROM disc containing
system software.
See Starting up from a CD-ROM disc on page 6-45.
2. Find and open the Disk First Aid icon.
You may need to look in the Utilities folder 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 finishes checking your hard disk, choose
Quit from the File menu.
