Although it has a lot of storage space, keep only files you use regularly on the hard disk, to ensure you always have plenty of space available. Store your other files on floppy disks.

Before you can use an Epson internal hard disk, you must do the following things to prepare it:

Use the Setup program on your reference diskette to prepare your system for using a hard disk, and then use the Format Hard Disk program to format the hard disk.

Partition the hard disk to run the MS-DOS operating system using the MS-DOS program FDISK.

Format the MS-DOS partition with the MS-DOS program SELECT.

Copy the MS-DOS utility programs to the hard disk using SELECT

For instructions on running the diagnostics program, see the Diagnostics section of this manual. For instructions on how to use the MS-DOS programs, refer to your MS-DOS manual.

Note: If you plan to use an operating system other than MS-DOS, you need to use that operating system to partition the hard disk and copy the system files to it.
