Now, insert the
bad
disk
and
select Save As from the File
menu. The Save As dialogue
box
will appear. The message
"Save current document
as"
may not be displayed,
or
it may be
displayed as a
group
of
garbled characters. Select Eject from
the dialogue
box
and
insert the system disk. Notice
that
the
dialogue
box
remains
on
the Desktop. Enter a new filename in
the space provided in the dialogue
box
or
keep the old one
and
hit Enter
or
Return,
or
select Save. The document will
appear
on the system disk.
Be
sure the document does not have the
same name as
another
on
the system disk. Only one file
at
a
time
can
be copied using this procedure.
After the Save
As
command, there
is
a good chance that
the
Mac
will display a system
error
message. All
is
not
yet lost,
however. At this point, punch
out
the bad disk again and
reinsert the system disk. Choose Restart from the system
error
box.
If
all goes well, the system will restart
and
two files will
appear
on
the system disk labeled
"Paint
I"
and
"Paint2."
These
contain
the information for the transferred document.
It
is, however, in
an
inappropriate form.
To
properly format it,
open the MacPaint application icon. A new document will
appear
entitled "rescue." This document will be the transferred
file.
Upon closing the document, the Mac will treat it as a new
file
and
ask the
appropriate
questions. When
we
have returned
to
the Finder, you will see
that
the two Paint files are replaced
by the transferred document with the name entered.
You may try variations on this procedure with the follow-
ing guidelines. First, never try
to
punch out the disk if the disk
drive
is
running. Second, do not be
too
surprised if some action
causes the disk
to
become unreadable,
and
it has
to
be
reini tialized.
