diskette to the hard disk. When all the files are copied, the
A>
prompt reappears. The partition on the hard disk is
now formatted.

The SELECT procedure described above copies all the files
from your Startup diskette to a directory it created on drive C
named /DOS. This enables you to start MS-DOS from the
hard disk. However, you should copy all the MS-DOS files to
your hard disk as described in the following section.

MS-DOS diskettes and the Reference diskette to drive C, the
