You can load MS-DOS from an application program diskette

if that diskette contains the operating system. See your

MS-DOS Reference Manual for information about creating a
system diskette.

Inserting and Removing Diskettes

If you have a

diskette drive, insert a diskette as follows:

hold the diskette with the label facing up and the read/write slot

leading into the drive, as shown below.

s l o t

Slide the diskette into the slot until it is in all the way. Then

turn the latch down to lock it in a vertical position. This keeps
the diskette in place and allows the read/write heads in the
diskette drive to access the diskette.

When you want to remove a diskette, first make sure the disk

drive light is off. Then flip up the latch and carefully pull out

the diskette. Place it in its protective envelope and store it in a

proper location, such as a diskette container.
