BOOTING THE SYSTEM
After installing
the hard
disk driver with
HINSTALL,
you can
boot your
system
from
the
hard
disk
by
following
these
steps.
1.
Switch
off
your system.
To
speed up
the boot process,
insert
a blank,
formatted
floppy disk
in
floppy disk drive
A.
Note:
For
instructions
on
how
to
format a
floppy
disk,
see
the
owner's
manual
that
came
with
your computer.
2.
Switch on
your monitor
and
the
hard
disk
drive.
When
the
drive's
activity light
goes
off,
switch
on your computer. During
the
boot
procedure, a
message
with the
name,
date,
and
version
number
of
the
hard
disk driver
file
appears
briefly
before
the
desktop
is
displayed.
As an
alternative
to
booting by switching
the
power
off
and
on,
you can
also
perform a
cold boot
of
your
system by
selecting
COLDBOOT.PRG
from
the
HINSTALL
folder.
This
program
lets
you
completely
initialize
your
system
without touching
the
power
switches.
When
you
run
this
program
(as with
any
cold boot), the contents
of
RAM
will
be
lost.
Note:
You
can
run
COLDBOOT.PRG
from
either a floppy
or
hard
disk.
