prompt:

Are these options

correct (Y/N)?

The system reboots with the new setup information. You

see the self test and the SETUP prompt.

3. This time ignore the SETUP prompt. The computer

automatically loads the operating system and starts the

MS-DOS installation program, which is called SELECT.

The SELECT program automatically partitions and formats

your hard disk, creates an AUTOEXEC.BAT file and a

CONFIG.SYS file based on your responses to prompts, and

copies the MS-DOS files to the hard disk.

After you have copied the MS-DOS files onto the hard disk,

your original MS-DOS diskettes become your backup copies.

Store these diskettes in a safe place.

See your MS-DOS Installation Guide for a complete description

of SELECT and how to install MS-DOS on your computer.
