Many hard disk drives, including all Epson drives, automatically
park their heads when you turn off the computer. If your hard
disk drive does not do this, or if you are not sure that it does, be
sure to run HDSIT.
Follow these steps to run HDSIT:
1.
2.
Exit any program you are using and make sure the MS-DOS
command prompt appears on the screen.
If you copied HDSIT to your hard disk (as described at the
beginning of this chapter), log onto the directory of the hard
disk that contains the HDSIT files.
If you did not copy HDSIT to your hard disk, insert the
Reference diskette in drive A. Then type A: and press
Enter to
log onto that drive.

read/write heads will remain locked until you reset the computer
or turn the power off and on again The computer locks the
heads and disables the keyboard. Remove any diskettes and turn
off the computer. You are now ready to move it to the new
location.

still have the original diskette drive protector card, you may
want to insert it into the drive prior to shipping your
