So Now What?
Now you're up and running and you can start using your computer. Let's briefly go over the
software that came with your system. If you purchased your WinBook with pre-loaded system
software, the hard disk has already been set up and all the software installed. If you purchased a
model without pre-loaded system software, refer to the 'Read-me-first" setup and initialization
guide for further instructions.
The Software You Get
Most WinBookXP5 systems come with pre-loaded software, including Windows, configured so
that you can start using them right away. You don't have to do anything unless you need to
change the configuration, so you can install whatever application software you plan to use right
away. We recommend backing up the hard disk first, so that if the software installation gets
corrupted, you can restore the original configuration. You do get the floppy disks for all the
software installed on the hard disk, so you could reinstall from master disk copies. Backing up,
however, is preferable to doing a generic installation from the software floppies because you
don't have to re-configure the system.
Windows comes with a back-up utility you can use to backup your hard disk onto floppy disks.
To access the backup program, click on the 'Start' button and then point through the menu
hierarchy. Point at 'Programs' and a submenu will pop up. Point at 'Accessories' and another
submenu will appear. Point at 'System Tools' and then click on 'Backup' in the submenu that
appears to run the Backup utility. The program has Help files that explain how to use it.
