Restoring the information on your hard disk

If information on your hard disk is damaged or lost, you can restore it if you
have a backup copy of the information. Your PowerBook comes with a
program called PowerBook 150 Backup, which you can use to back up the
information on your hard disk. Then if you need to, you can use the program
called PowerBook 150 Restore, also included with your computer, to put the
copied information back on your hard disk.

You can also use PowerBook 150 Backup to make a copy of your System
Folder (the folder that contains the software the computer uses to operate). If
your computer does not start up anymore, replacing the System Folder may
solve the problem. You can use PowerBook 150 Restore to replace the
damaged System Folder on your hard disk.

For instructions on using PowerBook 150 Backup, see “Backing Up Your
Hard Disk” earlier in this chapter.

IMPORTANT

If at any time during restoring you see a message reporting that

the hard disk is damaged or unreadable, see “Using Disks” in the Macintosh
Reference
book.

To use PowerBook 150 Restore to restore information to your hard disk, you
need the Utilities floppy disk that came with your computer and the floppy
disks that you used to back up your hard disk. Follow these steps:

1

Make sure the computer is off.

2

Insert the

Utilities disk into the floppy disk drive, then turn on the computer.

3

If necessary, open the Utilities icon by double-clicking it.

4

Open the PowerBook 150 Restore program by double-clicking its icon.
