Installing MS-DOS

To install MS-DOS software in a new drive container, you’ll need the
MS-DOS installation disks. Follow these steps:

IMPORTANT

If you received this guide with a computer, MS-DOS is already

installed. You do not need to reinstall the software unless you are having
problems.

1

Open the PC Setup control panel and click Switch to PC.

The Macintosh desktop disappears. (If you’re using two monitors, the image
on the Macintosh monitor dims.) You see a message about a missing operating
system or about a disk error.

2

Insert the Microsoft MS-DOS Setup floppy disk and restart the PC by pressing the
Control-Alt-

(Del) keys.

Make sure you press the … Del key (not the Delete key) when you press
Control-Alt-… to restart the PC.

3

Follow the instructions that appear on the screen.

Press x-E to eject a disk when necessary.

4

When installation is complete, restart the PC again.

Press the Control-Alt-… keys to restart the PC.

You should now see the DOS prompt.
