the standard Workbench and Extras disks. It cannot recover programs and
data that were later stored on the hard drive. For this reason it is EXTREMELY
IMPORTANT to perform regular backups of the hard drive's contents.
To use the A2091 Installation Software disk, boot the Amiga with the A2091
Installation Software disk in the internal floppy drive (DFO:). Do not boot from the
hard disk. When the system boots, you will see a A2091 Installation Software
icon on the screen. Double-click on the icon, and the following window appears:
