The Disk Manger online manual

Disk Manager contains an extensive online manual. This manual
includes detailed installation instructions, troubleshooting and a
list of master/slave jumper settings for many different hard
drives. To view the Disk Manager online manual, type dm. Then

Disk Manager by selecting

(V)iew/Print Online Manual in the

main menu.

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 loads. This happens auto-
matically when you boot directly from your hard drive (drive C).
If, however, you boot from a diskette, the DDO cannot load and
your hard drive will not be recognized.

To boot from a diskette and access your hard drive:

1. Boot the computer from the hard drive (with no diskette in the

diskette drive).

2. When the Disk Manager banner appears on the screen,

immediately press the

SPACEBAR

.

3. Insert your boot diskette and press the

SPACEBAR

again.

If you boot from a diskette often, you can create a Dynamic Drive
Overlay boot diskette. It loads DDO into memory and then loads
the operating system. For more information, refer to the Disk
Manager online manual on creating a dynamic drive overlay boot
diskette.
