Important Information About the PowerBook 3400 CD
The Install Apple Extras folder contains items that are preinstalled on your computer's hard disk. You can find out about each of these programs or documents by opening its folder and reading the "read me" file.
Backing Up Software
The PowerBook 3400 CD contains a copy of all the software that was originally installed on your hard disk. You can restore the complete set of software to the hard disk (or make a copy on another disk) using the software restore program in the Restore Installed Software folder on the CD. See the file "Restoring PowerBook Software" in the Restore Installed Software folder for instructions.)
You cannot use the restore program to make floppy disks. To make floppy backup disks, use the Floppy Disk Maker program, which is located in the System Backup folder, inside the Apple Extras folder on your hard disk. (See Appendix E in the user manual that came with your computer for instructions on making backup floppy disks.)
Starting Up from the CD
If you are not able to start up the computer from the hard disk, you can use the CD as your startup disk. To start up from the CD, hold down the "C" key after you press the Power key.
Note: The PowerBook 3400 CD contains a minimal System Folder. Consequently, you cannot run the programs included on the CD until you restart the computer with another startup disk. Also, when the CD is the startup disk, you cannot install programs from the CD to your hard disk.

1. Chooser Restart from the Special menu.
2. After you hear the tone, hold down the Shift key until you see the "Welcome" message on the screen.
