Re-enabling Diskette Boot or Diskette Write

The workstation ships with the Diskette Boot or Diskette Write features enabled. If a user has disabled the factory settings that allow the workstation to be booted from a diskette or to prohibit a user from saving data to a diskette, you may need to re-enable the features in order to service the workstation. To enable Diskette Boot or Diskette Write:

1.Turn on the workstation.

2.When you see the words F10=Setup in the bottom-right corner of the screen, press F10.

NOTE: If you do not press F10 while the message is displayed, you must turn off the workstation, then on again, to access the utility.

3.When prompted, select the desired language.

4.Press Enter to bypass the welcome screens and display the Compaq Utilities menu.

5.From the Compaq Utilities menu, select Computer Setup, then press Enter.

6.In the Computer Setup window, click Built-in Devices.

7.In the Built-in Devices window, click Storage.

8.Under Removable Media, select the function you want to enable.

9.Save the configuration and exit the utility.

10.Restart the workstation.

NOTE: Compaq recommends that you establish the Setup Password to prevent another user from entering the Computer Setup utility and changing any settings.
