Important Information About the PowerBook G3 Series CD

Some of the items on your PowerBook G3 Series CD have been preinstalled on your computer’s hard disk. You can find out about each of these programs or documents by opening its folder and reading the “read me” file.

Backing Up Software

The PowerBook G3 Series CD contains a copy of all the software that was originally installed on your hard disk. You can restore the complete set of software to the hard disk (or make a copy on another disk) using the Apple Software Restore program on the CD. See the file “Restoring PowerBook Software” for instructions.

You cannot use the restore program to make floppy disks.

Starting Up from the CD

If you are not able to start up the computer from the hard disk, you can use the CD as your startup disk. To start up from the CD, hold down the “C” key after you press the Power key.

The PowerBook G3 Series CD contains a minimal System Folder. Consequently, you cannot run the programs included on the CD until you restart the computer with another startup disk. Also, when the CD is the startup disk, you cannot install some programs from the CD to your hard disk.
