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:

1

Start up your computer from the

Disk Tools disk.

2

Find 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.

3

When Disk First Aid has finished checking your hard disk, choose Quit from the

File menu.

4

Open the Drive Setup program.

You use the Drive Setup program to update your hard disk.

5

In the list of drives, click your startup disk.

6

Pull down the Functions menu and choose Update Driver.

7

When the update process is finished, quit Drive Setup.

8

Shut down your computer.

9

Start up your computer from the first system software installer disk you made with

Floppy Disk Maker.

The Installer’s Welcome screen appears. You may have to double-click the
System Software Installer icon to open the Installer program.
