Create backup disks
Please store the floppy disks in a safe place. They will enable you to return
your computer to factory default settings should any problems occur.
While the MP indicator (
) is on, do not remove the floppy disk, power
down your computer or use the suspend or hibernation function (
"Suspend/Hibernation Functions").
When creating floppy disks, do not run any other application program.
When creating floppy disks and the message [Insufficient files to copy] is
displayed, press [OK] then contact Panasonic Technical Support.
The Tool Disk cannot be accessed through [My Computer] or by typing the
"DIR" command at the Command Prompt, because it uses a special file for-
mat.
