An icon with a sad face appears when you start up.
This can indicate a problem with the system software or with the computer hardware.
Try starting up from a different diskÑthe Disk Tools ßoppy disk or the Power
Computing Mac OS CD-ROM, for example. If you can start up with a different disk, it
means that there is a problem with your system software.
If the sad face icon continues to appear, contact an authorized service provider. There is
most likely a problem with the computer hardware.
A hard disk icon does not appear on the Mac OS desktop.
If the start-up hard disk is internal, restart your machine.
If the hard disk was recently installed, verify that all connections are snugly in place
that the drive has a unique SCSI ID.
If the hard disk is external, verify that it is connected and terminated properly, and that
it has a unique SCSI ID. Make sure that there are no SCSI ID conßicts. See ÒUsing
SCSI devicesÓ on page 14 for information.
If the disk is your start-up disk, start up your computer from the Disk Tools ßoppy disk
or Power Computing Mac OS CD-ROM. You can remove the internal drive from the
startup sequence (and force your system to boot from a ßoppy or the CD-ROM if you
have it in place) by holding down the shift, option, command, and delete keys (the
command key also called the
program to check and repair your disk. (See the Disk First Aid entry in Macintosh
Guide for instructions.) If repairing the disk does not solve the problem, reinstall the
system software as described in ÒInstalling the system softwareÓ on page 35.
You cannot read a ßoppy disk.
This can indicate a damaged disk or one that is not initialized.
If a ßoppy disk has never been used, it may not be initialized. See Macintosh Guide for
instructions on how to initialize disks.
If the disk is damaged, try using the Disk First Aid program to repair it. See Macintosh
Guide for instructions about using Disk First Aid.
