Booting From a Diskette
When Disk Manager is used to correct BIOS problems on your
system, it is important that every time you turn on your computer, that
the Disk Manager software is loaded. If you should ever wish to
restart your computer from a diskette, you must first begin to boot
from the C: drive, stopping the boot process by pressing F1 when the
configuration icon appears in the upper right corner of the screen.
Then, insert the diskette in the A: drive and press Enter to continue
the boot from the diskette. This process assures that you will be able
to fully access the entire capacity of your hard drive.
Managing Your Hard Disk Drive
The version of Disk Manager that comes with your drive contains hard
disk management programs that:
Reconfigure your applications that access your CD-ROM drive
Copy files from your old hard disk drive to your new drive
without changing directory or file names
Run diagnostic programs to test and manage your drive
The hard disk drive management programs are:
CD Update
FileCopy
Disk Utilities and Diagnostics
CD Update
CD Update is a program that runs under Windows and modifies your
application configuration information to access a changed CD-ROM
drive letter.
When you add a new hard disk drive, your operating system reassigns
the drive partition letters based on priorities that are assigned after the
partitions are defined and saved. Primary partitions are assigned the
next available letter beginning with C. An extended partition is
assigned the next available letter after letters have been assigned to all
primary partitions. A CD-ROM drive is assigned the next available
letter after all primary and extended partitions have been assigned.
For example, if your CD-ROM was drive D and you have added a
second hard disk drive with two partitions, CD Update would modify
your CD-ROM drive configuration, changing it to drive F.
To start the CD Update program for Windows:
1. Start Windows
2. Insert the Disk Manager Diskette into drive A.
3. Go to the Program Manager window.
4. Click on File.
5. Click on Run.
6. Type A:\cdupdate and click on OK.
7. Follow the instructions on the screen.
