How to repair a hard disk or floppy disk

You can repair some types of disk damage by using the Disk First Aid program, which is included either on the Disk Tools floppy disk or on the CD-ROM disc containing system software that came with your computer.

1Start up your computer from the Disk Tools disk or the CD-ROM disc that contains system software.

See “Starting Up From a CD-ROM Disc” or “Starting Up From a Floppy Disk” in the section “Initializing a Hard Disk” earlier in this chapter.

2Open the Disk First Aid icon.

You may need to look in a folder called Utilities to find Disk First Aid.

3Click the icon of the disk you want to test.

Disk icons appear in a box at the top of the Disk First Aid window.
