A. How to create a bootable diskette
If you have a bootable Windows operating system, follow the steps below to create a Windows 95 or 98
startup diskette:
1. Insert a blank floppy disk into drive A.
2. From Windows 95 or 98, double click My Computer.
3. Double click Control Panel.
4. Double click Add/Remove Programs.
5. Select Startup Disk tab.
6. Click Create Disk. Follow the prompts.
If you have a bootable DOS operating system, follow the steps below to create a DOS startup diskette:
1. Insert a blank floppy disk into drive A.
2. At the C:\ prompt, type FORMAT A:/S and press ENTER.
3. Follow the instructions displayed.
B. Controller information
The examples in this guide use an Adaptec controller. If a chip set is embedded into your motherboard,
plug the cable into the port on the motherboard instead of the controller.
If you are purchasing an add-on controller card, you will need to install the controller in one of the empty
slots in your computer. Remove the screw holding the metal plate in place and insert the controller into
the appropriate PCI, EISA or ISA slot on the motherboard, making sure the metal plate from the control-
ler fits into the grooves on the computer frame. Replace the screw and connect the SCSI cables to the
controller and then the hard drive. If you have any questions, refer to the installation manual enclosed
with your controller.
