Identifying Your System

When you request technical assistance, be ready to provide the

serial number of your computer, its ROM BIOS version

number, its configuration (including the types of disk drives

and options), and the names and version numbers of any

software programs you are using.

You can find the serial number on the underside of the

computer. If you are able to use your computer, follow these

steps to obtain information about your configuration, as well as

the version numbers of your system BIOS and MS-DOS:

1. Turn on your computer or press

to restart it.

2. As the computer performs its power-on diagnostics, it

displays the version number of your system BIOS as part of

the copyright information. Write down the number.

3. Write down any information about your setup shown on the

configuration screen that may help in identifying the

problem.

4. After the MS-DOS prompt appears, type

VER

and press

to display the MS-DOS version number. Write it down.
