Using the AFDD Program

The AFDD program reverses the current diskette drive assignments and resets the system. When you are done using the reversed drive assignments, you can use the AFDD program again to reassign the drives to their original configuration.

The AFDD program is provided with your system on the Reference diskette. If you do not have a hard disk, insert your Reference diskette in drive A and log onto drive A before you enter the command to start the program.

If you have a hard disk drive, copy the file AFDD.EXE from your Reference diskette onto your hard disk (if you have not already done so); then you can run the program from there. See “Copying the Reference and Utility Files” in Chapter 3 for more information.

To run the AFDD program, type the following at the MS-DOS command prompt and press Enter:

AFDD

You see a message such as the following:

 

 

New Assign

 

Present

Drive

A:

1.44MB

<=

1.2MB

Drive

B:

1.2MB

<=

1.44MB

(S)et and Reboot, Any other key to abort ? _

If you inserted the Reference diskette to run the AFDD program, remove it now.

If you want to change the drive assignments, press S. The system reboots and loads MS-DOS, and the new drive assignments take effect. If you do not want to change the drive assignments, press any other key.
