Backing up your files and restoring preinstalled software
Making backup copies of important files is good protection against possible damage to the originals. Files on your hard disk and on the CD that came with your PowerBook allow you to restore the software that came with the computer.
Backing up and restoring system software and preinstalled programs
mYou can make a set of backup floppy disks for the core system software on your hard disk by using the Floppy Disk Maker application program. This program and the disk image files it uses are in the System Backup folder on the CD that came with your computer. Instructions for using Floppy Disk Maker are in Appendix E.
mIf the System Folder on your hard disk is damaged, you can reinstall that essential software from the CD that came with your computer. See “Reinstalling System Software” in Chapter 8 for instructions.
mThe CD that came with your computer also contains a program for restoring the complete system software and all preinstalled application programs from the disk images on the CD. See the document
