Chapter 4, Troubleshooting
SELECT the volume you want to verify by clicking one time on its icon. Typically you
will want to verify your hard disk, but you can verify any Macintosh (HFS) volume.
Disk First Aid will then test the selected volume for directory issues. If any issues are
found, they will be displayed in the ÒReview instructions and resultsÓ Þeld in the Disk
First Aid window. If no issues are found, Disk First Aid will report that, ÒThe volume
(your disk name) appears to be OK.Ó
If Disk First Aid does Þnd issues with this disk, you will see one of two responses:
A. ÒThe volume (your volume) needs to be repaired.Ó Ð Disk First Aid has detected
minor issues on your hard disk which it can repair for you. To repair the hard disk:
1.
SELECT the device you wish to repair, then
2.
PRESS the ÒRepairÓ button in the lower-left-hand corner of the Disk
First Aid window.
B. ÒIssues were found but Disk First Aid could not repair them.Ó Ð The issues found
were too severe to be Þxed by Disk First Aid. If you own another disk repair program,
you may try using it to repair the drive. If the second disk repair program is
unsuccessful, or you do not have another disk repair program, re-initialize the damaged
drive using Hard Disk Toolkit as detailed in ÒRe-initializing the hard disk,Ó starting on
page 46.
Using HDT Primer PE to test and repair SCSI disks
HDT Primer PE is the formatting software Power Computing includes for formatting,
initializing, and testing SCSI storage devices. If your problem involves an IDE drive, go to
ÒUsing Drive Setup for test and repair IDE hard disks,Ó starting on page 46.
Although most devices can be formatted by HDT Primer PE, it does not support all devices.
To verify that HDT Primer PE supports your SCSI device, consult the ÒSupported DevicesÓ

PE folder is located in the Utilities folder on Power CD.
