Starting up from another hard disk

To initialize, test, or repair a hard disk, or to install system software
on a hard disk, you need to start up your computer from another
disk. If you have another hard disk that will start up your
computer, you may restart from it. Use either the "Startup Disk"
control panel to set the other hard disk as your startup disk, or
follow these steps:
1. If the other hard drive is external, power it on and wait a moment
for it to start up.
2. Power your computer on.
3. Immediately press the Z-Option-Shift-Delete keys on your
keyboard.
Continue to hold down these keys until you see the "Welcome to
Mac OS" message. If a blinking question mark appears, or if the
computer starts up from your primary hard disk, your alternate
hard disk may not be properly configured to start the computer. See
Installing or reinstalling system software on page 6-48.
