Copying the Utility Files

If you have a hard disk, you should copy the VGA utility files from your Reference diskette to your hard disk and run the programs from there. This section describes how to copy the files and include a pathname for the files in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file. Once you have copied the files and modified AUTOEXEC.BAT, read the sections below that describe how to use each utility you copied to your hard disk.

Note

If you do not have a hard disk, you can skip this section and go on to the sections below about using each utility. Keep in mind that you’ll need to insert the Reference diskette in drive A and log onto drive A each time you want to run one of the utilities.

Follow these steps to copy the utility files to your hard disk:

1.If necessary, turn on your computer.

2.Log onto the root directory of your hard disk.
