Although it has a lot of storage space, keep only files you use regularly on
the hard disk, to ensure you always have plenty of space available. Store
your other files on floppy disks.
Before you can use an Epson internal hard disk, you must do the follow-
ing things to prepare it:
Use the Setup program on your reference diskette to prepare your sys-
tem for using a hard disk, and then use the Format Hard Disk program
to format the hard disk.
Partition the hard disk to run the MS-DOS operating system using the
MS-DOS program FDISK.
Format the MS-DOS partition with the MS-DOS program SELECT.
Copy the MS-DOS utility programs to the hard disk using SELECT
For instructions on running the diagnostics program, see the Diagnos-
tics section of this manual. For instructions on how to use the MS-DOS
programs, refer to your MS-DOS manual.
Note: If you plan to use an operating system other than MS-DOS, you need
to use that operating system to partition the hard disk and copy the
system files to it.
