Missing HD Reference File (2/97)
Issue:
A reference file needed by the system was
not
installed on the PowerBook 1400’s hard drive during the
manufacturing process. As a result, if customers use a Disk
Utility program (such as Apple’s Disk First Aid) that
addresses this reference file, they will receive an error
message. For example, customers using Disk First Aid to
verify their hard drive will see the error message, “This is
not an HFS disk.”
The absense of this file does not compromise data integrity
in any way and the error messages do not necessarily
indicate that the customer is experiencing a problem with
their PowerBook 1400. It only affects disk utility programs
that attempt to address this reference file and it is easily
corrected.
