2 NEC Versa 6050 Windows 98 Upgrade Information
The system requirements for your NEC Versa are:
A minimum of 16 MB of RAM (32 MB is recommended).
Approximately 50 MB additional hard disk capacity.
If backing up Windows 95 system configuration files, another additional
50 MB for a total of 100-MB additional hard disk space.
Note:
The Windows 98 Setup Wizard informs you if
your system has insufficient hard drive space to proceed.
NEC recommends that you do the following procedures in the order listed to
upgrade your system.
1.
Upgrade your NEC Versa system BIOS.
2.
Install the new version of HDPrepEz (the Save-to-File utility).
3.
Upgrade your operating system to Windows 98.
CAUTION
Allowing your system to perform the Save-to-File process
(by means of executing a Standby request, either manually
invoking it with the “suspend button,” or by means of a
system power management time-out) in the FAT32 system
file mode without updating and running the latest version of
HDPrepEz can cause catastrophic hard drive data loss.
Upgrading the BIOS
Use these steps to upgrade the BIOS.
Note:
Before upgrading the BIOS, you must first check
that the BIOS dip switch setting inside your NEC Versa
system is enabled for the BIOS update. Refer to the section,
“Updating the System BIOS,” in Chapter 4 of your NEC
Versa User’s Guide.
1.
Insert the BIOS upgrade diskette into the floppy drive unit.
2.
Run the “INSTALL” batch file, which is located at the root of the floppy,
drive A:\ with the Windows Explorer.
3.
Select, according to the prompts, “A) NEC Versa Notebooks” and “B)
Computer using Windows 95 only” successively.
4.
Once the INSTALL batch file has finished, shut down Windows 95,
selecting “Restart” with the BIOS upgrade diskette still in the floppy drive.
