Access MacPaint on a system disk. Clo se the pre s ent
document and choose Open from the File menu . Select Eject
and insert the faulty disk. If the disk's documents appear , then
select the one you wish copied . At this point , the Mac will
request disk switches a few times as it l oads the file. Finally , the
document appears within the MacPaint display with the sys-
tem disk inserted.
The task here is to fool the Mac into thinking one disk is
pre s ent while another actually is present. Use an unbent paper
clip or s imilar object to "punch out" the system disk using the
following procedure. Insert the paper clip into the small pin
hole to the right of the disk slot. Press in until th e di sk ejects.
Do not attempt to eject a disk while the disk drive is running.
The pin hole is shown in figure 9.1.
