Because your computer was set up at the factory, the configuration
information should be accurate, If you have changed the
computer’s setup so that this information does not match your
configuration, run the Setup program described in Chapter 5 to
correct it.
Your computer comes with MS-DOS and Microsoft Windows
installed on the hard disk. However, you can use another
operating system, such as OS/2,
®
UNIX,
®
or XENIX.

Although
this manual includes sample MS-DOS commands, it does not
explain how to use the operating system; see your MS-DOS or
other operating system manuals for complete instructions.
Your computer starts up in MS-DOS and Windows as soon as it
completes the power-on diagnostics. The messages you see as the
computer loads MS-DOS depend on how your computer has been
set up.
If you plan to use another operating system, you need to install it
now. See the documentation that came with your operating system
for installation instructions.
The procedures described in this manual assume you are using
MS-DOS. If you are using another operating system, see your
documentation for instructions on how to perform the various
procedures.
