Solving Problems 19
If this doesn’t work, try the following:
1 Start up your computer from the software install CD.
See Chapter 2, “Starting Up From a CD,” on page 25.
2 Drag the System file out of the System Folder to another location on your hard disk (the
desktop is locked).
3 Close the System Folder.
4 Put the System file back into the System Folder.
Make Sure You’re Using the Correct Disk as the Startup Disk
At least one disk drive must have system software on it from which the computer can start
up. Most computers have an internal hard disk that is used as the startup disk.
m Specify the startup disk by using the Startup Disk control panel. See Mac OS Help
(available in the Help menu) for instructions.
m For information on starting up using a CD, see Chapter 2, “Starting Up From a CD,” on
page 25.
m If you don’t want your computer to start from a CD, press the CD Eject button to open
the tray, remove the disc, then close the tray. If the tray won’t open, see “Remove a
Jammed Disc” on page 20.
m If the startup disk is an external hard disk, check that it is turned on and that its cable is
properly connected.
m If large folder-shaped areas containing pictorial buttons appear when you start up, you
probably started up from a CD containing At Ease or you have At Ease turned on. At Ease
is an alternative to the Macintosh desktop. You can specify the startup disk by using the
Startup Disk control panel. See Mac OS Help (available in the Help menu) for
instructions. To turn At Ease off, see the documentation that came with the software.
m If the hard disk has been initialized for use as a RAID volume, you won’t see an icon for it
on the desktop until you create at least one RAID volume on that disk. Refer to the
documentation that came with the RAID software for more information.
