Booting from a diskette

If Disk Manager installs the dynamic drive overlay (DDO) to
access the full capacity of your drive, the DDO must load into
memory before the operating system loa ds. This occurs auto-
matically when you boot from your hard drive (drive C). However,
if you boot from a diskette, the DDO will not be loaded and you
will not be able to access your hard d rive. The following pr oce-
dure allows you to boot from a diskette and sti ll access your hard
drive.
1. Boot the computer fro m the ha rd disc (w ith no diskette i n the
diskette drive).
2. When the Disk Manager banner appears on the screen,
immediately press the SPACEBAR (you have about 2 seconds).
3. Insert your boot diskette and press the SPACEBAR again.
If you boot from a diskette regularly, you can create a Dynamic
Drive Overlay boot diskette. It loads DDO into memory and then
loads the operating system. See the Disk Manager online man-
ual for more information about creating a dynamic drive overlay
boot diskette.
