Chapter 1

Using Your Computer

This chapter gives you a brief overview of some basic computer operations that you’ll use on a daily basis, such as how to turn your system on and off, use diskettes and disk drives, and reset the computer.

If you are familiar with these aspects of operating a computer, you may want to skip the first few sections of this chapter. However, be sure to read the later sections which describe system operations specific to your computer, such as using a password, changing the processor speed, and preparing the hard disk for moving.
