Installing the Mac OS

Step 1: Start Up From the Mac OS CD

Before you begin, turn off any security or virus-protection software you have installed on your computer.

If you have a PowerBook, plug it in and use the Energy Saver control panel to set it so it doesn’t go to sleep.

Next, start up your computer using the Mac OS CD.

1 Insert the CD in your computer’s CD-ROM drive.

2 Shut down your computer.

3 Tu rn on your computer while holding down the C key on your keyboard.

Continue holding down the C key until you see the smiling face.

You’ll know you’ve started up from the CD when your computer’s desktop pattern changes to a light-colored background that says “CD.”

Need help starting up from the CD?

If your computer won’t start up from the CD, or if it doesn’t have a CD-ROM drive, see “Troubleshooting Information” on page 9.
