Using Your Computer
This chapter briefly describes the following procedures for using
your computer:
Installing MS-DOS or another operating system
Using special keys on the keyboard
Stopping a command or program
Resetting the computer
Using a password
Using disks and disk drives.
Installing MS-DOS or Another Operating
System
After you connect the components of your system and run the
SETUP program, you must install the operating system on your
computer. If you are installing MS-DOS, follow the instructions
in your MS-DOS Installation Guide. If you are installing
another operating system, such as MS OS/2 or Unix, see the
manual that comes with that system for instructions on
installing and using it. The procedures in this manual assume
that you are using MS-DOS with your computer.
Note
Be sure to make backup copies of your original operating
system diskettes.
