Backing-up the pre-installed software

2/6 LS HANDBOOK
Apricot PCs arrive with a pre-installed copy of Windows 95,
Windows NT or Windows for Workgroups. Additional software
may be pre-installed at the factory or by your Mitsubishi Electric
PC supplier.
We recommend that you copy or 'back-up' any pre-installed
software soon after setting up the system. This is particularly
important for systems that are supplied without installation
diskettes for the software on the hard disk. A back up copy will
safeguard the pre-installed software against loss if the hard disk fails
or if you accidentally overwrite or delete files.

The Microsoft Create System Disks utility (Windows 95) or
the Apricot Disk Maker utility (Windows NT or Windows for
Workgroups) allows you to create installation diskettes from
disk images pre-installed on the hard disk. See the utility's on-
line help for more information.

To back up other pre-installed software (and your own files)
use the Backup tool (Windows 95 and Windows NT) or
Backup for Windows (Windows for Workgroups).
In general, any copy you make of pre-installed software must be
used only as a back-up copy, in case the pre-installed version is lost.
You are not allowed to use installation diskettes created from disk
images to install the software onto another computer.
Some of the software may have been supplied "pre-configured" for
your PC's actual setup, for example, video drivers. It may not work
on another PC and may even cause serious problems.
