Troubleshooting

Installing Mac OS X

You want to install Mac OS X and you are using Mac OS X.

If you already have Mac OS X installed, you cannot start the installation by double-clicking the Install Mac OS X icon on the CD. Instead, insert the Mac OS X CD and restart your computer while pressing the C key.

The Installer doesn’t appear.

If you double-click Install Mac OS X and the Installer doesn’t appear, insert the CD and restart your computer while pressing the C key. If the Installer still doesn’t appear, select the Mac OS X CD as your startup disk. If you are using Mac OS X, use Startup Disk preferences. If you are using Mac OS 9, copy the Startup Disk control panel on the Mac OS X CD to the System Folder and use it to select the CD.

You see a message about updating your computer’s firmware.

If you see a message that you need to update your computer’s firmware, do so before you install Mac OS X. Updaters are available on your Mac OS X CD. You can also check the Apple software updates Web site (asu.info.apple.com).

The Installer cannot repair your hard disk.

If you see a message that the Installer cannot repair the disk, you may need to reformat it. Restart using the Mac OS X CD and click “Prepare My Hard Disk for Installation” when the Installer appears.
