Create or Purchase Master Diskettes
When you buy a program at a computer store, you receive one or
more program diskettes. These program diskettes contain the files
necessary to install the program on your computer's hard disk.
You can also use them to reinstall your software if necessary.
However, your computer comes with a number of programs, such
as Microsoft Windows 95, already installed on the hard disk. If
one or more of these programs is ever damaged or deleted, you'll
need program files to reinstall it.
You must buy blank diskettes and run Microsoft’s Create System
Disks program to make a set of Microsoft Windows 95 diskettes.
There are two ways to obtain program files for your other pre-
installed software (not including Microsoft Windows 95):
❖
Buy blank diskettes and run Toshiba’s Master Disk Creator
program.
❖
Purchase the Toshiba drivers/utilities on diskette from
Toshiba, using the order form that came with your computer.
Preparing to Create Master Diskettes
Disk image files on your hard disk contain all the information to
create program diskettes for the factory pre-installed programs on
your computer. Microsoft Create System Disks and Master Disk
Creator copy these disk images to the diskettes.
You cannot reinstall programs from the disk image files on
the hard disk. You must use program diskettes created with
Create System Disks and Master Disk Creator to reinstall any
of the pre-installed programs.
