The next step is to select the files to be transferred to the Flash EPROM disk, in the FILE
SELECTION screen (explained in section 11.04 - FILE SELECTION SCREEN).
The next screen is the LIST OF SELECTED FILES; here, the file listing can be verified
and modified, duplicate files can be renamed or erased, and the Flash disk can be written
(explained in section 11.05 - LIST OF SELECTED FILES).
Finally, the last screen is the TRANSFER STATUS OF ONBOARD FLASH
PROGRAMMING
or
PROGRAMMING; this screen displays each of the transfer operations in progress
(explained in section 11.06 - TRANSFER STATUS SCREENS).
The above sections explain how to run the program in interactive mode via menus, but it
is also possible to run the program without menus by a command which specifies the
selected options and files with parameters; this mode is called batch mode (explained in
section 11.07 - BATCH MODE).
11.01.2 TYPES OF FLASH EPROM DISKS
With VFLASH, you can create two types of Flash EPROM disks:
1 - Bootable Flash Disk:
This type of Flash EPROM disk must start from the first block and is recognized by the
BIOS. Like a hard disk, an active Flash EPROM disk can boot your system. A typical
system setup would contain a CONFIG.SYS file to start device drivers, an
AUTOEXEC.BAT file to start your software, plus all driver files required (e.g.,
EMM386.EXE, a MOUSE driver, etc).
To boot from Flash EPROM three conditions must be met:
•
You must have the optional 2MB or 4MB Flash EPROM installed at U36.
•
The bootable Flash EPROM partition must start from the first block.
•
The Flash disk must be configured in the VIP-UP Setup as the C: drive (section 10.01).
