Diagnostics for Factory-Installed Drive Devices Not
Supported by the Diagnostics and Utilities CD
Use these procedures as a general check of any factory-installed
DOS-supported drive device not detected by the Diagnostics and Utilities CD
such as the Zip drive.
Note: While performing this check, you may need to enter and exit
Microsoft Windows 95 several times. When instructed to select an
icon or button, double-click on the item with the mouse.
For more information about using Microsoft Windows 95, see the
user’s guide provided with the computer.
If an operating system other than Microsoft Windows 95 is installed,
program screens and icons may differ from these instructions.
If a separately boxed external Zip drive is included with the Aptiva
model, the Aptiva customer must contact the Zip drive manufacturer
for questions about installation and operation, and for Zip drive
service.
