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

Use the Format Hard Disk program on your diagnostics diskette 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 your Diagnostics manual. For instructions on how to use the MS-DOS programs, refer to your MS-DOS manual. If you plan to use an operating system other than MS-DOS, you also need to use that operating system to partition the hard disk and copy the system files to it.

Note: Your MS-DOS manual states that you need to run the Setup program on the diagnostics diskette before you format the hard disk, but you do not do this on the Equity I+.
