If the hard disk is external, verify that it is connected and terminated properly, and that it
has a unique SCSI ID. Make sure that there are no SCSI ID conßicts. See ÒUsing SCSI
devicesÓ on page 41 for information.

If the disk is your start-up disk, start up your computer from the Disk Tools ßoppy disk or
Mac OS CD-ROM. Use the Disk First Aid program to check and repair your disk. (See
the Disk First Aid entry in Macintosh Guide for instructions.) If repairing the disk does
not solve the problem, reinstall the system software as described in ÒReinstalling system
softwareÓ on page 58.
