Preparing the hard disk for moving

If you need to move your Apex 100\20 to a new location-

whether it is across the

country

or just across the room-there

is a program you should run to protect the hard disk before you

turn off the computer.

The HDSIT program moves the disk drive’s read/write heads to

a region on the disk surface that does not contain data, and
locks them securely in position. This protects the hard disk
from being damaged if the computer is bumped accidentally.

Follow these steps to run HDSIT:

1.

Exit any program you are using so the MS-DOS command

prompt is on the screen.

2.

Insert the Reference diskette in drive A.

3.

Type the following and press Enter:

A:HDSIT

You see a message on the screen that tells you the disk drive’s

read/write heads will remain locked until you reset the

computer or turn the power

off

and on

again.

The computer

locks the heads and disables the keyboard. You can now turn

off the computer and prepare to move it to the new location.
