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 commands, 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.
When you reset the computer, the operating system must be
either on the hard disk or on a diskette in drive A; so if you do
not have a hard disk, insert the operating system diskette in
drive A. Then press
Ctrl Alt Del.
Note
If you set the System Boot Up Sequence option in
Setup to
Check only C
: (see Chapter 2) the operating
system must be on the hard disk when you reset the
computer.
If resetting the computer does not correct the problem, you
probably need to turn it off and on again. Remove any
diskette(s) from the diskette drive(s). Turn off the computer
and wait 20 seconds. If your operating system is not on the
hard disk drive, insert a bootable diskette in drive A. Then turn
on the computer.
