TOPIC

    Reinstalling system software on a Power Macintosh G3 with any of the following options may require a separate drag install.

    • Ultra Wide SCSI internal hard disk drive
    • 10/100Base-T Ethernet card
    • 128-bit 2D/3D professional graphics card with 8 MB of its own video memory (VRAM)


DISCUSSION

    The system software components necessary to support your computer's new options are installed in the System Folder on your computer*s hard disk. If you reinstall system software, you may have to reinstall some of these software components separately. They may not be included in the system software Installer.

    To reinstall the software components, follow these steps:

    1. Insert your Power Macintosh G3 CD.

    2. Open the folder titled Important Extra System Software.

    3. Drag the items from the folder onto the System Folder on your hard disk.

    Note: If the folder is empty, then all of the necessary software components are included in the system software Installer.

    4. When you see a message asking if you want to put these items in the Extensions folder, click OK.

    5. Restart your computer.
