Follow these steps to run HDSIT:

1.Exit any program you are using and make sure the MS-DOS command prompt appears on the screen.

2.Insert the Reference diskette in drive A. Then type A : and press Enter to log onto that drive.

3.Type the following and press Enter:

HDSIT

You see a message on the screen that tells you the disk drive’s read/write heads will remain locked until you reset the computer or turn the power off and on again. The computer locks the heads and disables the keyboard. Remove any diskettes and turn off the computer. You are now ready to move it to the new location.

Note

For convenience, you may want to copy the following two files from the Reference Diskette to your hard disk:

HDSIT.COM HDSIT.VER

Then, when you want to run HDSIT, just log onto the directory on your hard disk where you stored the files, type HDSIT, and press Enter. See your MS-DOS manual for instructions on using the COPY command.

If you have a 5 1/4-inch diskette drive and you still have the original diskette drive protector card, you may want to insert it into the drive prior to shipping your computer to protect the read/write heads.
