I am unable to use Microsoft Backup.
In Windows 95, you cannot use Microsoft Backup because it needs a PC
floppy drive controller that does not exist in your Macintosh. You can use a
Mac OS backup program to back up your PC container file.
You can use Microsoft Backup in Windows 3.1 or Windows for Workgroups.
To do so, configure the backup manually by following these steps:
1. Add the following line to the [386enh] section of your SYSTEM.INI file:
device=vfintd.386
Your SYSTEM.INI file is in the WINDOWS directory.
2. Start the Microsoft Backup program.
3. Click No in the Auto-configure dialog box.
4. In the Configuration window, select “1.44 Mb 3.5” in the Drive A list box.
You may also click Configure from the standard toolbar at the top. Do not
click the Compatibility Test button because it may cause a system “freeze.”
5. Click Backup on the standard toolbar.
6. If you are backing up to floppy disks, choose MS-DOS Path from the
Backup To list box. Type “A:\” in the second list box that appears.
You can type a different path to back up to a network device.
7. C ontinue with your backup.
When you use the Compare or Restore options, you must choose MS-DOS
Path in the Compare From and Restore From list boxes.
I can’t start up the PC from a drive container created in Insignia SoftWindows or SoftPC.
You can use drive containers created with SoftWindows or SoftPC, but you
will not be able to start up from them. When you select a container created
with SoftWindows or SoftPC, be sure to choose a drive letter other than C.
If SoftWindows or SoftPC is running, you cannot access the drive containers.
In the PC environment, the CD-ROM drive doesn’t recognize some CDs.
The PC Compatibility Card only recognizes the following types of CDs: PC
format (ISO 9660), dual format (discs formatted for both the Macintosh and
PCs), and audio. Some specialized formats are not supported.
