If you are running the AFDD program from a hard disk, you can
reassign the drives and reset the computer automatically. Type
the following command and press Enter:
AFDD /S
The
/ S switch tells the AFDD program to reset the computer,
load MS-DOS, and change the diskette drive assignments
without displaying the message.
Note
You may want to run the AFDD program by including the
command in a batch file. See your MS-DOS Reference
Manual
for instructions on creating and using batch files.
Using Your Computer as a Network Server
If your computer is set up in a network, you may want to use
your system as the network server. A network server is the
master computer in a network and provides storage space for the
other computers connected to it. The network server can write
files to and read files from the other computers, making it the
most powerful computer in a network.
Even if no one is typing commands at the network server
keyboard, the server can process commands sent to it from other
computers. When your computer is operating in this special
situation, you may want to prevent unauthorized users from
entering commands at the network server keyboard. To provide
this security, you can enable a power-on password in network
server mode.
