Chapter 9: Disk Operation
Copying a System Disk
The MPC2000 requires operating system software to turn the power
on in the same way as personal computers. Personal computers have
operating systems on the hard disk which is automatically loaded
when the power is turned on. In the case of MPC2000, the operating
system software is stored on the system disk and it is always neces-
sary to use the system disk when you are turning the power on. The
system disk is essential in operating the MPC2000 and it is therefore
recommended to have several copies of the operating system.

The MPC2000 operating system file consists of MPC2000.EXE and
the MPC2000.SYS. Both files are necessary in order to operate the
MPC2000. These two files will be copied when you copy the system
disk. These two files will be regarded as the “operating system files”
hereunder in this manual.

Also, by copying the system on devices such as hard disks connected
by a SCSI cable, it is also possible to start the MPC2000 from the hard
disk.
