Copy Diskettes and Make Backups
General
If you are using new generic program diskettes for the first time, there are two things
that you should do:
1. Create a working copy.
2. Make backup copies.
Before installing the program, it is a good idea to make backup copies of the working
copy. If the working copy is ever lost or damaged, you will have a backup copy and
will not have to create a new working copy from the original.
Create a Working Copy
The diskette(s) sent to you contains the new generic program software. However,
before you can install this new program, you have to load the
MS-DOS
*
operating
system software. (If you are not sure how to do this, instructions are given in the
Starting
MS-DOS
Software section.) The new generic program software requires
MS-DOS
software (Release 2.1 or later).
To load the version of
MS-DOS
software, you can copy the
MS-DOS
onto the first
diskette, and then copy the new generic program software to that diskette also. Once
you have done that, simply insert that diskette into the drive and reboot the PC. The
new diskette(s) that you create will be your working copy of the new generic program.
The original diskette(s) that you received should be stored in a clean, dry place.
You will need the following to create a working copy:
•The
MS-DOS
software disk with Release 2.1 or later.
• A blank diskette(s) (this will become the working copy).
• The original diskette(s) containing the new generic program.
