Owner's Manual

You want to quit the Installer.

If you start Install Mac OS X but want to quit without installing the

software, choose Quit from the Installer menu, then press the mouse

button or trackpad button to eject the CD when your computer restarts.

Your computer will start up using the last system you were using. For

more information about restarting your computer, see the documentation

that came with it.

The Installer doesn’t appear.

If you double-click Install Mac OS X and the Installer doesn’t open, restart

your computer while holding down the C key to start up your computer

using the CD. For more information about restarting your computer, see

the documentation that came with it.

If the Installer still doesn’t appear, restart your computer and press the

mouse button or trackpad button to eject the Mac OS X CD. After your

computer starts up, insert the Mac OS X Install Disc 1 CD and use Startup

Disk preferences (Mac OS X) or the Startup Disk control panel (Mac OS

9) to select the CD as your startup disk, then restart your computer.

The Installer cannot repair your disk.

If a message says the Installer cannot repair the disk, you may need to

erase it. This deletes all the files on your disk. If you need to back up your

disk, quit the Installer and do so. Open Install Mac OS X again and follow

the instructions given earlier to erase your disk.

The Installer cannot update the hard disk driver.

The Installer cannot update the drivers for non-Apple hard disks. Use the

disk utility recommended by the manufacturer to update the disk’s driver

before installing Mac OS X. Make sure to use a version of the utility that is

compatible with Mac OS X.

Installing Mac OS X was interrupted and now you can’t restart.

If this happens, restart your computer while holding down the mouse or

trackpad button to eject the CD. Your computer may start up using the

last system you were using. If it doesn’t and you have another Mac OS X

or Mac OS 9 system installed on your computer, restart your computer

while holding down the Option key to select a startup disk. If you cannot

start up this way, insert a Mac OS 9 CD in your computer and hold down

the C key while restarting your computer. Open the Startup Disk control

panel and select a startup disk.
