Reinstalling PC software

You begin by installing the Microsoft MS-DOS operating system included
with your computer. You can also install Microsoft Windows, if you wish.

1

In the Mac OS, open the PC Setup control panel and click Switch to PC.

The Macintosh desktop disappears, and you see a message about a missing
operating system or about a disk error. Ignore the message.

2

Insert the CD-ROM disc containing DOS and Windows software into the computer’s
CD-ROM drive.

3

Find and open Microsoft MS-DOS Setup.

4

Follow the instructions that appear on the screen.

Note: The MS-DOS installation files do not include a DOS mouse driver.
A mouse driver for Windows is automatically installed, however, if you install
Microsoft Windows. Mouse drivers for DOS are widely available from other
manufacturers.

5

When DOS installation is complete, you may want to install Windows. Find and open the
file called Windows Series Installation Instruction Diskette 1 of 6, type

A:setup, and

press Return.

You can skip this and the next step if you don’t want to install Windows.

Follow the instructions that appear on the screen.

The following PC software is now installed:

DOS (directory)
