Rebuilding The Desktop File - Power Computing PowerCenter PRO User Manual

6. Follow the on-screen instructions for completing the system
software installation.
After the clean installation, you will have a new System Folder containing
only the licensed Apple system software, and a Previous System Folder
which contains all your old system software. Because the new System
Folder contains only Apple system software, non-Apple peripherals which
require their own drivers will not function until the driver is reinstalled.
7. VERIFY that the issue has been solved. Do not add back non-Apple
system software until you are certain that all your issues were fixed
by a clean install.
8. RE-INSTALL any non-Apple system software into the new system
folder one item at time. After adding an item to the system folder,
restart and verify that the issue does not return. If the issue does
return, remove the software you just added and contact that
software's manufacturer.
9. Once all non-Apple system software has been reinstalled into the
new System Folder, REMOVE the Previous System Folder from the
hard drive by dragging it to the trash.
