Epson 20 Manuel D’Utilisation

l

If you are using MS-DOS and another operating system, use
MS-DOS to partition and format the space on the hard disk you

want to be used by MS-DOS. Then use the other operating
system to prepare the rest of the disk space. For example, if you
have a 90MB hard disk and want to use 30MB for MS-DOS and
60MB for XENIX®, use MS-DOS to prepare the first 30MB (as

described in this chapter) and then use XENIX to prepare the

other 60MB.

l

If you are using MS-DOS and MS OS/2, prepare the entire hard

disk according to the instructions in this chapter and then follow
the instructions in the MS OS/2 Setup Guide to install MS OS/2
on the hard disk.

To perform the procedures in this chapter, you’ll enter MS-DOS

commands and use the working copies of your MS-DOS diskettes

and Reference diskette. If this is the first time you have used an

operating system, you may want to first read Chapter 5 for basic

information about MS-DOS or see your MS-DOS Reference Manual

for complete information on the operating system.

Your Epson dealer may have already partitioned your hard disk and
formatted it so it automatically loads MS-DOS when you turn it on.
If this is the case, you do not need to run FDISK or SELECT

If you are not sure whether your hard disk has already been prepared
for use, do the following:

1. Turn on or reset your computer without a diskette in drive A. If

MS-DOS loads automatically from the hard disk, it is both
partitioned and formatted, and it contains the MS-DOS system
files. You do not have to perform the procedures described in this
chapter. If it does not start, the disk may have been partitioned

but not yet formatted for MS-DOS, or it may be partitioned and

formatted but missing the MS-DOS system files; go on to step 2.
