Apple Workgroup Server 8150/110 - Manual (Page 77)

Your server can’t read a floppy disk.
If you see a message that a floppy disk is unreadable, try one of the following:
m Insert the disk again—sometimes that’s all it takes.
m If the disk has never been used, you may simply need to initialize it. See the
instructions for preparing a disk listed in the “Files” topic of Macintosh
Guide, available in the Guide menu.
m Insert the disk in another computer’s disk drive. If that computer can use the
disk, make a copy of the data and put the copy on a different floppy disk.
m You may need to repair the disk because it is damaged. For information
on testing and repairing disks, see “Repairing a Damaged Disk” later in
this chapter.
If you are trying to use a DOS disk:
m The disk may have been formatted incorrectly on a DOS computer. On DOS
computers it’s possible to format a standard double-sided disk in a high-
density (1440K) format, and vice versa. Disks formatted this way cannot be
read by a Macintosh computer.
When formatting disks on a DOS computer, always format standard double-
sided disks in the 720K format. Always format high-density disks in the
1440K format.
If a disk has been formatted incorrectly, use a DOS computer to copy its
contents onto another disk that has been properly formatted.
The pointer doesn’t move when you move the mouse.
The mouse is not connected properly, its signals are not reaching the server, or
there is a software error.
m Turn off the server using the power switch, check that the mouse cable is
connected properly, then restart the server.
m Clean the mouse (see Appendix A, “Safety, Maintenance, and Health
Information”).
m If you have another mouse or pointing device, try connecting and using it.
(Turn off the server first.) If it works, there is probably something wrong
with your mouse.
