5. Insert a 3½ inch 1.44 MB floppy into the floppy disk
drive. Follow the on-screen instructions. The utility
(Sysboot.exe) will format the floppy, make the floppy
bootable and copy appropriate system files to the
floppy. Before creating the boot floppy, ensure that the
floppy is NOT write protected. Any previous data on the
diskette will be erased.
6. After the bootable floppy has been created, ensure that
it is write protected. Paste a label onto the diskette and
label it HiNote Ultra 2000 Series Bootable Floppy.
Using the Boot Floppy
The hard drive in the system has been partitioned using the
FDISK utility. The hard drive has also been formatted. A
"SAVETOFILE.BIN" file has been created for the system by
using PHDISKF. Without Save-to-File.bin, it will not be possible
to take advantage of the system's Save to Disk power
management feature.
