disk images present on the hard disk. Once you have done this,
you can delete the disk images from your hard disk. See the
utility’s on-line help for more information.
To back up other pre-installed software, use Backup for DOS
or Backup for Windows as described in your MS-DOS manual.
It is a good idea to begin by creating a bootable system diskette
containing the programs needed to partition and format the
hard disk and to restore the backed up copy. In this way, you
should be able to recover any programs or data lost by a hard
disk failure.
Note
Any copy you make of pre-installed software must be used only as
a backup copy, in case the pre-installed version is lost or needs re-
installing or reconfiguring. In particular, you are not allowed to use
installation diskettes created from disk images to install the software
onto another computer.
Using the 3.5" diskette drive
The (optional) 3.5" diskette drive can read and write double-
sided diskettes with a formatted capacity of either 1.44 Mbytes
(if marked “HD” or “high density”) or 720 Kbytes (if marked
“DD” or “double density”).
Each diskette has a rigid plastic cover with a metal shutter that
guards the disk surface. The drive automatically moves the
shutter aside to read the diskette. Never touch the exposed
surface under the shutter; you could deform the disk or leave
a fingerprint that might make the diskette difficult to read.
Keep diskettes well away from dust, moisture, magnetic objects,
and equipment that generates magnetic fields. Also, avoid
extremes of temperature and exposure to direct sunlight.
Otherwise, data recorded on the diskette may become
corrupted.
