Installing MS-DOS

A full-feature workstation requires the MS-DOSroperating system, which comes with the workstation software. The workstation software is initially loaded at the manufacturer. You may have to reload this software because of hard disk failure or system upgrade. When reloading, it is advisable to reformat the hard disk before installing the software.

To reformat, create a bootable disk by using the format /s command. Then copy the format command (found on the MS-DOS Operating system disk) onto the bootable disk. Boot the system from the bootable disk and execute the format command on the hard disk.

Once the hard disk has been re-formatted, remove the rebootable disk and locate the two MS-DOS disks labeled Install and Operating System.

Use the following procedures to install MS-DOS.

1.Insert the disk labeled 1 of 2 into Drive A and turn on the power to the computer.

PRESS: Enter

When prompted remove Disk 1 and insert Disk 2. PRESS: Enter
