Doing a normal installation
Follow the steps in this section to do what is commonly called a “normal” installation of system software.
If you’re installing system software on a hard disk for the first time, make sure that your hard disk has been initialized, a process that prepares the disk to store information. (You initialize a disk using the Drive Setup program on your hard disk.)
To do a normal installation, follow these steps:
1Start up your computer from the Disk Tools disk. (Use an external floppy disk drive or dock.)
2Find and open the Disk First Aid icon.
After Disk First Aid starts, follow the instructions on the screen. Disk First Aid checks your hard disk for any problems.
3When Disk First Aid has finished checking your hard disk, choose Quit from the File menu.
4Open the Drive Setup program.
You use the Drive Setup program to update your hard disk.
5In the list of drives, click your startup disk.
6Pull down the Functions menu and choose Update Driver.
7When the update process is finished, quit Drive Setup.
8Shut down your computer.
