Using Disk Drives

Backing Up the Operating System on Floppy

Disk

If you have not already done so, you need to

make a full backup of your operating system

onto floppy disks.

q

Windows 95 requires approximately 30

floppy disks

q

MS-DOS and Windows for Workgroups

require approximately 17 floppy disks

Back Up Your Programs and Personal Data

The amount of programs and data on the old

hard disk drive may prohibit backing up to

floppy disk, so you may need another way to

back up the remaining information on the old

hard disk drive.

Use one of the following ways to back up the

programs and data.

q

Another computer -- Use TranXit software

to back up the data to another computer. If

you do this, make sure you created a

TranXit disk when backing up the operating

system.

q

Server -- If your computer is connected to a

network, back up the data to a server.
