There have been reports of a problem using Disk First Aid 7.2 after starting up from Disk Tools. When Disk First Aid's main window opens you see the Disk Tools disk on the Internal Floppy Drive, the SCSI ID 0 for the hard drive, and a third floppy disk named "unknown disk".

This issue has been occasionally reported to occur on PowerBooks. You should first make sure you do not have a RAM disk turned on in the memory control panel. To remove the extra floppy icon, you must reset your parameter ram using the following procedure:

Step 1

Restart your computer.

Step 2

After you hear the startup chime hold down the Command, Option, P, and R keys on the keyboard.

Step 3

Continue holding these keys down until you hear a second startup chime.

When you restart with the Disk Tools disk and run Disk First Aid, the extra floppy will be gone.
