Running MENU from a diskette
If you are running the MENU utility from a diskette rather than a hard
disk, when you select a specific operation the screen displays a message
similar to this:
MODE.COM is not on the current disk or PATH
Press any key to continue...
At this point you need to switch to the Startup/Operating 1 diskette for the
remainder of the operation. Remove the Operating 2 diskette from drive A
and replace it with the Startup/Operating 1 diskette and then press any key.
The screen that was displayed before reappears and you can continue the
operation.
There are two alternatives to the disk-swapping described above:
l Create a MENU diskette containing all the files necessary to run the
MENU utility. To do this, you need to understand more about how the
MENU utility is structured. See your MS-DOS manual for details.
l Before you run the MENU program, type PATH B : at the A > prompt
and press Enter. Then when you run the MENU program, the screen
prompts you when to insert the diskette for drive B. At that point,
insert the Startup/Operating 1 diskette in drive A if you have only one
drive or drive B if you have two drives. Press any key to continue.
