volume.

decompresses it).

What Is the PowerBook 1400 HD Updater?

The PowerBook 1400 HD Updater is designed to provide a
reference file that may not have been copied on the hard
disk of some Macintosh PowerBook 1400 series computers. The
reference file is not needed for normal operation of the
PowerBook. 

However, a disk utility program, such as Disk First Aid,
looks for the reference file.  If the file is not on the
hard disk and you use Disk First Aid or another disk
utility, you will see a message reporting that the hard disk
is not an HFS volume and can't be checked by the program.
(The message may be somewhat different with a disk utility
other than Disk First Aid.)

Who Needs to Use the Updater?

If the reference file is not on your computer's hard disk,
you should use the PowerBook 1400 HD Updater to copy the
file on the disk.  To determine whether you need to use the
Updater, follow these steps.

- Checking Your Hard Disk

1.  Locate Disk First Aid (in the Utilities folder on your
hard disk) and open it by double-clicking its icon.
2.  Click the icon of the hard disk to select it.
3.  If you see a message that you can't repair the startup
disk, click OK. (You want to verify the disk, which can be
done on the startup disk.)
4.  Click Verify.  
5.  If you see a message "This drive is not an HFS disk,"
you need to use the PowerBook 1400 HD Updater.  (If a status
message appears reporting the progress of verification, you
do not need to use the Updater. You can click Stop to end
the verification process.)

- Using the PowerBook 1400 HD Updater

1.  Copy the Updater to your computer's hard disk.
2.  Double-click the Updater's icon to open it.  The Updater
automatically copies the reference file on  your hard disk.
3.  Click OK to quit the Updater.

It's a good idea to check your hard disk after using the
Updater. To do this, run Disk First Aid and select the
Verify option. If Disk First Aid reports a problem, follow
the instructions on the screen. You can also use the Drive
Setup program (in the Utilities folder) to check the hard
disk. See "Testing Your Hard Disk" in Chapter 7 of the
manual for your computer for more information about testing
the drive.

Using the Updater will not cause any problem if the
reference file is already on the hard disk.
