Booting From the Hard Disk
Now you can boot your system (load MS-DOS) from drive C, your hard
disk. Be sure there is no diskette in drive A; if a system diskette is in drive A,
MS-DOS boots from the diskette.
Turn off the computer, wait at least five seconds, and then turn it back on.
After the computer completes the power-on self test, the screen displays the
date prompt. Press
Enter
twice to accept the date and time shown.
The C > prompt then appears, indicating that the system has successfully
loaded MS-DOS from your hard disk.
From now on, each time you turn on or reset your computer, it auto-
matically loads MS-DOS
fr
om the hard disk. Just make sure drive A
is empty.
