Using Makedisk And Putdisk To Change Drives C Or D; Deciding Where To Run Makedisk - Intermec Janus 2050 User Manual

Using MakeDisk and PutDisk to Change Drives C or D

You can use the MakeDisk and PutDisk utilities to perform these tasks on your
4MB JANUS device:
• Adding or editing files on drives C or D.
• Replacing some files on drives C or D.
• Replacing all of the files on drives C or D.
• Deleting files from drives C or D.
Follow these steps, which the next sections describe in detail:
1. Create a working directory and fill it with files for drive C or D.
2. Create the new image file with MakeDisk.
3. Load the new image file onto the JANUS device with PutDisk.
Note: Due to its large size, MakeDisk is not loaded on drive D. You must copy the
self-expanding executable C_MAKE.EXE from the Boot Utilities companion disk to a
drive on the host PC and run C_MAKE.EXE. After running C_MAKE.EXE, delete
all of the extracted files except for MAKEDISK.EXE.
Caution
Do not run any Intermec-provided JANUS application programs (such as
IC.EXE) on your PC. Also, do not run any .EXE programs that use Intermec
interrupt extensions or libraries on your PC. These programs will lock up
your PC and may corrupt the PC BIOS.
Conseil
N'exécutez pas sur votre PC de programmes d'application JANUS fournis par
Intermec (tels que IC.EXE). N'exécutez pas non plus sur votre PC de
programmes .EXE qui utilisent des bibiothèques ou des extensions
d'interruption car ces programmes bloqueront votre PC et pourraient
corrompre le BIOS du PC.
