1-2 IBM PC/AT Preparations
To enable the support tool to be run on your IBM PC/AT, install the system in its
hard disk by using the support tool installation program.
1-2-1 Installation Method
Explained here is the method for installing the system in a hard disk that already
has a history of use.
Check that the following conditions are satisfied.
S
IBM DOS (Version 5.02 or later) is installed.
S
[FORMAT.EXE] and [DISKCOPY.EXE] are loaded.
If these files are loaded in a subdirectory, set an environment variable PATH.
For the purposes of this explanation, the drive configuration is assumed to be as
follows:
Drive A: 3.5 inch floppy disk
Drive B: 3.5 inch floppy disk
Drive C: Hard disk
If the drives of the system you are using differ from those in this example, rename
the drive names in the example to achieve correspondence with your system (re-
member that there must be at least one 3.5 inch floppy disk drive).
Procedure 1. Start up the personal computer that has DOS installed in its hard disk.
2. Prepare a new floppy disk and use it to create a back up disk for the support
tool system disk in the following way.
Set the new disk in the B drive.
Enter “FORMAT B: ”. The new disk will be formatted.
On completion of formatting, set the support tool system disk in the A drive.
Enter “DISKCOPY A: B: ”. The back up disk will be created.
"
If the disks in drive A and drive B are of different types, use the command
“DISKCOPY A: A:
” and create the back up disk in the same drive.
Now take the original disk out of the A drive and store it, and transfer the back
up disk to the A drive.
3. Use the command “A: ” to set the current drive to “A”.
4. Enter “INSTALL C: \NT ”.
The underlined part (\NT) is the directory in the hard disk to which the support tool
is copied; if it does not exist already it is created automatically. It is possible to
specify another directory name.
