Using Disk Image Mounter
What is a disk image?
A disk image is a discrete electronic representation of an individual disk. The Disk Images folder in the Floppy Disk Maker folder on your hard disk contains the disk images you need to create installer disks for both your system software and the other software that comes on the hard disk.
Using disk images to install software
When you use Floppy Disk Maker, it copies the disk images onto floppy disks. You use these disks to reinstall the software that comes on your computer. If you dont have the floppy disks you made with Floppy Disk Maker and you still have the disk images that came on your hard disk, you can use Disk Image Mounter. Disk Image Mounter is an application program that mounts disk images on your desktop. Once mounted, you can install software from the disk images.
To install software from disk images, follow these steps:
1. Double-click the Installer file for the application program you want to install.
2. Follow the instructions on the screen.
As long as you did not delete the disk images from your PowerBooks hard disk, Disk Image Mounter will mount the necessary disk images on the desktop and install the software from the images. If you quit in the middle of the installation process, the disk images may still be mounted on the desktop. To unmount a disk image, drag it to the Trash.
