Backing-up the pre-installed software

Apricot PCs arrive with a pre-installed copy of
Windows

95. Additional software may be pre-

installed at the factory or by your Mitsubishi Electric
PC supplier.

We

strongly

recommend that you copy or ‘back-up’

any pre-installed software soon after setting up the
system. This is particularly important for systems that
are supplied without installation diskettes for the
software on the hard disk. A back up copy will
safeguard the pre-installed software against loss if the
hard disk fails or if you accidentally overwrite or
delete files.

♦

The Microsoft Create System Disks utility
allows you to create installation diskettes from
disk images pre-installed on the hard disk.

♦

To back up other pre-installed software (and
your own files) use the Backup tool. Click the

Start

button in the Windows taskbar, then

Programs

,

Accessories

,

System Tools

and

Backup

.

In general, any copy you make of pre-installed
software must be used only as a back-up copy, in case
the pre-installed version is lost. You are

not

allowed to

use installation diskettes created from disk images to
install the software onto another computer.
