Loading Programs from CD
The PowerMac G4 mounts a CD automatically when it is inserted into the drive. With the computer on and fully booted, place a CD in the drive and wait for the disk to be mounted and for the CD icon to appear on the screen. It should appear near the top right of the desktop. Double click the disk to open it, and double click the file or program icon inside the finder window to open that particular program.
Loading Programs from iOmega ZIP Disks
The integrated drive should read ZIP Disks automatically, when inserted. However, the drive is currently not operating properly. Do not insert ZIP disks into the drive as it is difficult to access the physical release button for the drive, which is located beneath the plastic cover.
Loading Programs from Floppy Disks
An external USB floppy disk drive is available. Do not insert floppy disks into the integrated ZIP drive.
Running Programs from the Hard Drive
On the desktop, double click the Hard Drive icon, located at the upper right of the screen. Navigate by double clicking on icons representing files and folders on the disk. Double click a file or program to open it.
