Resetting the Computer
Occasionally, you may want to clear the computer’s memory
without turning it off. You can do this by resetting the
computer.
For example, if an error occurs and the computer does not
respond to your keyboard entries, you can reset it to reload
your operating system and try again. However, resetting erases
any data in memory that you have not saved; so reset only if
necessary.
Caution
Do not reset the computer to exit a program. Some programs
classify and store new data when you exit them. If you reset
the computer without properly exiting a program, you may
lose data.
If you set the Boot sequence in SETUP to C: only (see
Chapter 2), the operating system must be on the hard disk
when you reset the computer. If you selected the other options,
the operating system must be either on the hard disk or on a
diskette in drive A. If you do not have a hard disk, insert the
operating system diskette in drive A.
If you are using DOS, you can press Ctrl Alt Del to reset the
system. (If you are using Windows, you must press
Ctrl Alt Del
twice.) You can also press the RESET button located on the front
right side of your computer. The screen displays nothing for a
moment and then the computer reloads the operating system.
