Windows Software
Your notebook computer comes supplied with a Microsoft Windows operating system
installation software and numerous applications. The first time you turn on your notebook, the
system will begin the installation process. You will be prompted for your Certification of
Authenticity, which you can find with your Windows documentation.
Backup Diskettes
It is recommended that you make a backup copy of the factory installed software. You will
need the backup copy of the software in case it is inadvertently deleted or if you need to
reinstall any of the factory installed software. The number of disks required to create a backup
copy is indicated by the Create Application Disks in the Digital program folder. The Microsoft
Windows Create System Disks (MSCSD) application allows you to make only one set of
Windows backup installation disks. Be sure to prepare an adequate supply of 1.44MB,
formatted quality diskettes.
Under the Windows 95 environment, during installation of a new piece of hardware, you may
be prompted for a specific system disk. In the event that you have not yet created the system
disk backup, you may change the indicated path from A: to C: by typing
C:\Windows\Options\Cabs.
