Booting From the Hard Disk
Now you can boot your system (load MS-DOS) from drive C. Just make sure there is no diskette in drive A when you turn on or reset your computer.
Turn off the computer, wait at least five seconds, then turn it back on. After the computer completes its power-on self test, the screen displays the date prompt. Press Enter twice to accept the date and time shown.
The C> prompt appears, indicating that the system has successfully loaded MS-DOS from your hard disk.
From now on, each time you turn on or reset your computer, it automatically loads MS-DOS from the hard disk. Just make sure drive A is empty.
