To configure the Boot Disk to free up OVER 61 OK of available base
memory and to set up Expanded Memory (EMS):
Back up your CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXECBAT files
before editing them so that you con return to the originals if
you hove any problems. To back up the files type “COPY
C:\CONFIG.SYS C:\CONFIG.BAK” and press the ENTER
key, then type “COPY C:\AUTOEXEC.BAT
C:\AUTOEXEC.BAK” and press the ENTER key.
Copy the CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXECBAT files from the
root directory (C:\) on your hard drive to the root directory
(A:\) on the Boot Disk that you hove just created.
Example: At the
C:>
prompt, type “COPY C:\CONFIG.SYS
A:\” and then press the ENTER key. To copy the
AUTOEXEC.BAT file, type “COPY C:\AUTOEXEC.BAT
5
A:\” and then press the ENTER key.
Open the copy of the AUTOEXEC.BAT file using the EDIT
program from MS DOS 5.0:
i. Type “CD\DOS” and then press the ENTER key.
ii. Type “EDIT A:\AUTOEXEC.BAT” and press the ENTER
key.
From the Boot Disk copy of the AUTOEXEC.BAT file, delete
6
all lines, except the following:
PROMPT $P$G
<PATH>MOUSE.COM
<PATH> is the directory in which your mouse driver is
located, usually C:\, C:\MOUSE, C:\DOS or
C:\WlNDOWS.
Example: C:\DOS\MOUSE.COM
If
you have
a
line that begins, “Path=C:\ . ..” then you can
leave it also.
NOTE: Your mouse line may be different if you ore NOT
using the MOUSE.COM mouse driver. Do not change this
line if it looks different. Drivers that hove
a
.SYS extension
will be loaded through the CONFIG.SYS file and you
should leave that line there when you ore editing that file.
If
you hove other questions about loading your particular
mouse driver, consult your mouse or DOS manuals.
Save the edited AUTOEXEC.BAT file and open the Boot
Disk copy of the
CONFIG.SYS
file
from within EDIT.
To save, press
Alt-F
to bring down the File menu and press
the
“s”
key.
To open, press Alt-F, press the “0” key and then type
“A:\CONFIG.SYS” and press the ENTER key.
While still in EDIT, delete all lines from the Boot Disk copy
of the CONFIG.SYS file EXCEPT the following:
DEVICE=C:\DOS\HIMEM.SYS
DEVICE=C:\DOS\EMM386.EXE 260
DOS=HIGH.UMB
