TOPIC


    I made a Disk Tools disk from the Disk Images folder on the Apple Macintosh CD that came with my Macintosh Performa 630 or 580 computer. When I started up the Macintosh with that Disk Tools disk, I could not recognize the CD-ROM drive.

DISCUSSION


    The Disk Tools disk image included with these computers is not intended to be a fully functional system, it is an emergency boot volume to perform hard disk repair. The System Folder on the Disk Tools disk you created is missing the resources to mount a CD-ROM disc.

    The recommended alternative is to startup from the Apple Macintosh or Performa CD by holding down the Option-Command-Shift-Delete keys, as detailed in the TIL article "Macintosh: Starting from Floppy or CD-ROM disc".
