Remember, before you can run an MS-DOS application

program, MS-DOS itself must be running in memory. Follow
these steps to load MS-DOS:

1. Turn on any peripherals, such as the printer or an external

diskette drive.

2. If your system has a hard disk, be sure its power switch is

turned on.

3. If your system does not have a hard disk, insert the

working copy of your MS-DOS system diskette into drive

A, on the right side of the computer.

4. Turn on your computer.

If your system has a hard disk that is set to boot MS-DOS

automatically, be sure that no diskette is in drive A.

MS-DOS loads automatically from the hard disk when you

turn on the computer. See Chapter 2 for more information

on the hard disk.
