Hard Disk Problems

If you have problems with your hard disk when you first start to use it, make

sure it is properly set up. Try the following steps:

1.

MS-DOS system files. Turn off your computer and insert your working
copy of the Startup/Operating 1 diskette into drive A. Then turn on
your computer and log on to your hard disk drive.

root directory of your hard disk. If the file is not in the root directory,

use the COPY command to copy COMMAND.COM from the diskette
to the hard disk, and then restart your system.

If COMMAND.COM is already in the root directory, use the MENU

utility described in Chapter 4 to compare the COMMAND.COM

disk. If the files don’t match, use the COPY command to replace

COMMAND.COM on your hard disk with the COMMAND.COM

file on your diskette.

2. If the hard disk still doesn’t work, the root directory of your hard disk

may be missing some hidden system files. (Hidden files are read-only files
that are not displayed when you list the files in the root directory using

the DIR command.)

To copy the hidden system files from your Startup/Operating 1 diskette

to the root directory of the hard disk, log on to the diskette drive, type

the following command, and press

Enter:

SYS c:

3. If you can boot from a diskette, but cannot access data stored on your

hard disk you may have accidentally repartitioned or reformatted part

or all of the disk.
