Setting Up the Software

This chapter describes how to set up the operating system and associated system software for your
system.

Preparing for Setup

Your system's primary hard disk drive was formatted and partitioned before shipment. In Explorer
or My Computer, you can right-click a disk drive and click Properties to display the drive's
partition size and file system format. If you purchased other disk drives, you may have to format
and partition them for use. See the operating system documentation and Help for more
information on formatting, partitioning, and administering disk drives.
The operating system and associated system software is installed on the system's primary hard disk
drive. Installed system software includes:
Driver software for the SCSI controller, graphics controller, audio controller, and mouse
Driver software for peripheral devices and expansion cards installed at the factory
Core networking software
The latest certified operating system Service Pack software, if needed
Quick-Fix Engineering (QFE) software, if needed
System management software
The operating system is installed through the first phase of the Setup process. You must follow the
Setup process to prepare the operating system for use.
Before you go through operating system Setup, have the following documents available:
Microsoft's operating system documentation
Documentation for the system's graphics controller and any installed peripheral devices and
expansion cards
Your system's Late-Breaking News (if provided)
