Backing up hard disk files
While the hard disk is very reliable, it is essential to back up
your hard disk files to diskettes in case you lose some data
accidentally. Make copies of all your system and application
program diskettes before copying the programs to the hard disk.
After you create data files on the hard disk, be sure to copy
them to diskettes whenever you revise them to keep your
backup diskettes up-todate.
You can see the more detailed information of backing up hard
disk files on the Chapter 6.

Preparing the hard disk for moving

Before you move the computer, you need to secure the
read/write heads inside the hard disk drive. Securing the
read/write heads moves them to a region of the disk surface
that does not contain data, and locks them in position. This
prevents the disk from being damaged if it is bumped
accidentally.
To secure the read/write heads for moving, run the TGSHIP
program. Follow these steps to run TGSHIP:
1. Exit any program you are using so the MS-DOS command
prompt is on the screen.
2. Insert the MS-DOS diskette in drive A.
3. Type the following and press Enter:
