Apple 6400 appendix Reinstalling your system software

In a few seconds the Macintosh desktop with the Launcher appears.

Your screen may look slightly different from this one.

Now continue with the steps in “Reinstalling Your System Software” or “Reinstalling All Your Original Software.”

Reinstalling your system software

Software can sometimes develop problems and may need to be replaced. Restore System Software is a program that reinstalls the system software that was on your computer when you purchased it.

Note: When you use the Restore System Software program, only system software (all the Apple programs that run the computer) is reinstalled. All other programs and documents remain on your hard disk.

Before you begin, you must start up your computer using the Macintosh Performa CD: Performa Software. For instructions, see the previous section, “Using the CD-ROM Disc as Your Startup Device.”

1 Locate the Restore System Software icon in the Launcher window.
