Copying the Reference and Utility Files

If you have a hard disk, you’ll probably want to copy some of the files on your Reference and Utility diskettes to the hard disk for convenience. This allows you to run the programs any time without having to insert a diskette. Copy the following files from the Reference diskette to your hard disk:

AFDD.EXE ESPEED.EXE HDSIT.COM

HDSIT.VER ROMBIOS.COM

(See Chapter 4 and Appendix B for instructions on using these files.)

The Reference diskette also contains files for the Setup program and the System diagnostics program. Because you should always run these programs from the Reference diskette, do not copy these files to your hard disk.

The Utility diskettes contain VGA drivers that allow you to display graphics in certain high-resolution modes. If you want to use any of these extended modes on your VGA monitor, copy any VGA files you need to your hard disk. See the VGA Utilities booklet for instructions.

Note

Be sure to make backup copies of your Reference and Utility diskettes.
