6.5.2 SHIPDISK.EXE
Whenever
you
need
to
move
your
system
and/or
hard
disk,
you
should
move
("park")
the
read/write
head
on
the
hard
disk
at
an
area
always void
of
data
(the
so-called landing
zone).
This
is
analogous
to securing
the
tone
arm
of
a
stereo
turntable.
To
park
the
read/write
head, use
the
SHIPDISK.EXE
program
on
the
EVERDISK
utility diskette.
To Park the Read/Write Heads:
1.
Insert
the
EVERDISK
utility
diskette
in
drive
A.
2.
Type:
1--...,
SHIPDISK [Enter]
3.
The
program
will ask you
for
a
drive
number
(1-8).
Enter
1
for
physical
drive
1,
enter
2
for
physical
drive
2.
If
two
drives
are
connected
to
your
system,
you
must
run
this
program
twice to
park
the
heads
on
both
drives;
park
the
read/write
heads
on
physical
drive
2
first,
then
park
the
heads
on
physical
drive
1.
4.
When
the
head
is
parked,
a disk is ready to ship message
will
appear.
The
drive(s)
are
now
ready
to be moved.
r"'\
NOTE: Some drives do not need to
run
SHIPDISK.EXE as
the
drive will automatically
park
the read/write head mechanism
upon turning
off
the system.
