Running MENU from a diskette

If you are running the MENU utility from a diskette rather than a hard

disk, when you select a specific operation the screen displays a message
similar to this:

MODE.COM is not on the current disk or PATH

Press any key to continue...

At this point you need to switch to the Startup/Operating 1 diskette for the

remainder of the operation. Remove the Operating 2 diskette from drive A

and replace it with the Startup/Operating 1 diskette and then press any key.

The screen that was displayed before reappears and you can continue the

operation.

There are two alternatives to the disk-swapping described above:

Create a MENU diskette containing all the files necessary to run the
MENU utility. To do this, you need to understand more about how the

MENU utility is structured. See your MS-DOS manual for details.

l

Before you run the MENU program, type PATH B : at the A > prompt

and press

Enter.

Then when you run the MENU program, the screen

prompts you when to insert the diskette for drive B. At that point,

insert the Startup/Operating 1 diskette in drive A if you have only one
drive or drive B if you have two drives. Press any key to continue.
