❖
Run Create System Disks and Master Disk Creator or pur-
chase master program diskettes.
At some point, you may need installation diskettes for the pro-
grams that came pre-installed on your computer’s hard disk.
See “Create Master Diskettes or Purchase the CD-ROM” on
page 35 for more information.
Five Things You Should Never Do
❖
Don't spill a drink into the computer’s keyboard.
If you do spill a drink that gets into the keyboard, turn the com-
puter off immediately and unplug it. Leave the system off over-
night to give it time to dry out before you return to work.
❖
Don't format a disk that contains valuable information.
Formatting removes all the information that's currently on the
disk. If your files are important to you, always double-check a
disk before you format it.
❖
Don't turn the computer off when a drive indicator light is on.
Turning the computer off while it's reading from or writing to a
disk may damage the disk, the drive or both.
❖
Don't expose diskettes or the computer to magnetic fields,
such as those generated by large stereo speakers.
Information on disks is stored magnetically. Getting a magnet
too close to a disk can erase important files.
❖
Don't be afraid to use your computer, it's just a machine.
Many people are so nervous with their first computer that they
forget it’s merely a tool. Provided you follow the advice in this
manual, you’re unlikely to do your computer any harm. So use
it and have fun.
