TOPIC

    This article is intended to give you a brief overview of Apple Software Restore included with some Macintosh computers.

    Please note that this article covers Apple Software Restore, not Apple Restore that came bundled with some Macintosh Performa computers.


DISCUSSION

    If any of the applications or extra files on the hard disk are damaged or erased inadvertently, Apple Software Restore will allow you to restore the complete set of software originally installed on your hard disk.


    Follow these steps to restore software to your hard disk:

      1. Insert the System Software CD that came with your computer into the computer.
      2. Select Restart from the Special menu to restart the computer. Press the C key until the "Welcome to Macintosh" message appears. (This key allows the computer to start up from the CD.)
      3. Locate and open the Restore Installed Software folder on the CD.
      4. Double-click the Apple Restore icon.
      5. Read the program's greeting and click OK.
