Using Your Computer
This chapter briefly describes the following procedures for
using your computer:
Installing MS-DOS or another operating system
Copying the Reference and Utility diskette files
Locking the computer’s cover
Using special keys on the keyboard
Stopping a command or program
Resetting the computer
Using a power-on password
Preparing a hard disk for moving.
Installing MS- DOS or Another Operating System
After you connect the components of your system and run the
Setup program, you must install the operating system on your
computer. The instructions in this manual assume that you are
using MS-DOS with your computer, but you can install another
operating system, such as OS/2 or UNIX. See the documentation
that came with your operating system for instructions on
installing it.
Note
Be sure to make backup copies of your original operating
system diskettes.
