To enable the support tool to be run on your IBM PC/AT, install the system in its
hard disk by using the support tool installation program.
Explained here is the method for installing the system in a hard disk that already
has a history of use.
Check that the following conditions are satisfied.
S IBM DOS (Version 5.02 or later) is installed.
S [FORMAT.EXE] and [DISKCOPY.EXE] are loaded.
If these files are loaded in a subdirectory, set an environment variable PATH.
For the purposes of this explanation, the drive configuration is assumed to be as
follows:
Drive A: 3.5 inch floppy disk
Drive B: 3.5 inch floppy disk
Drive C: Hard disk
If the drives of the system you are using differ from those in this example, rename
the drive names in the example to achieve correspondence with your system (re-
member that there must be at least one 3.5 inch floppy disk drive).
2. Prepare a new floppy disk and use it to create a back up disk for the support
tool system disk in the following way.
Set the new disk in the B drive.
Enter "FORMAT B:
On completion of formatting, set the support tool system disk in the A drive.
Enter "DISKCOPY A: B:
If the disks in drive A and drive B are of different types, use the command

Now take the original disk out of the A drive and store it, and transfer the back
up disk to the A drive.
3. Use the command "A:
4. Enter "INSTALL C: \NT
The underlined part (\NT) is the directory in the hard disk to which the support tool

". The back up disk will be created.
" and create the back up disk in the same drive.
