2.2.2 Installing the Software
The Programming Disk supplied with the Haltech IG5 has an installation program that allows
you to install the software onto the PC’s Hard Disk. Most modern PCs have a hard disk. If
your PC does not have a hard disk, the IG5 Program can run directly from the disk supplied.
Installing the software on the Hard Disk will speed up program execution and avoid having to
fiddle around with floppy disks. The installation program needs only to be run once.
If you do not have a Hard Disk, go to the section titled Running the Software from the
Floppy Drive.
To install the software follow these steps.
Boot up Computer
Turn your PCs power on and boot up MS-DOS as instructed by the computers Users Manual.
If a shell program or menu utility runs automatically when you boot your computer, exit it
now. You should see a prompt similar to this:
C:\>_
This is the ‘DOS Prompt’. It is DOS’ way of indicating that it is waiting for a command. The
C: indicates that the C drive is the drive currently selected. If you do not have a hard disk,
your prompt will look similar to this:
A:\>_
Select the Drive
To run the INSTALL program, you must insert the supplied disk in the disk drive. To select
the appropriate disk drive (this will most probably be A: or B:) type:

should now see the prompt:
