6.When the format is complete, the Options dialog box appears. We want to call your attention to two of the options in particular: Create Recovery Disk and Change Install Features.

Create Recovery Disk allows you to save the boot information EZ-Drive uses to load your drive. You can use this diskette to restore the EZ-Drive boot information on Drive C if it is cor- rupted and you cannot access the drive. Use a blank diskette to create the recovery disk. We recommend that you use this feature.

Change Install Features allows you to change the status of some EZ-Drive features. You can:

∙Disable Maximum overdrive.

∙Disable the EZ-Drive banner that appears during boot up.

∙Disable Floppy Boot Protection. This allows you to use the EZ-Drive installed drive with other operating systems.

Caution. You can corrupt the data on your drive if you boot from a diskette improperly while in this mode. Always follow the “Booting with a diskette after EZ-Drive is installed” instruction on page 18 or the Floppy Boot Instruction in EZ-Drive when booting with a diskette in this mode.

∙Set the time period the computer allows you to press CTRL if you want to boot to a floppy.

∙Remove the EZ-Drive boot code from Drive C.

7.Select Reboot to reboot the computer and save the installa- tion. Remove the diskette.

Toward the end of the boot sequence, your screen should display a prompt for booting with a diskette followed quickly by the Micro House banner and the C: prompt. If the boot prompt and the banner fail to appear and you have not disabled Floppy Boot Protection in the Change Install Features menu, your computer has not recognized the EZ-Drive installed drive.
