Typically, virus detect packages will guide you through building a backup boot floppy disk to be
used if you suspect that the hard disk is infected.
NOTE:
The WinBook FX is typically set up to look for a boot floppy disk before it starts to boot
from the hard disk drive. This setting supports use of a backup boot floppy disk. To check this
setting, go to the
Main
menu of the Setup Program as shown in Chapter 9,
Using the Setup
Program
. Check that the
Boot Option
item is set to
[A: then C:]
.
BACKUP YOUR HARD DISK
Hard disk drives do die. Sometimes data recovery specialists can rescue files and sometime they
can’t. While hard disk drives are getting more reliable, the possibility of failures is still there,
especially for mobile users who may drop the unit while it is in operation. Consequently, you
should make a habit of regularly backing up the information on your [FX 8-7] hard disk. Refer to
Windows 95 documentation, or to on-line Help for instructions.
Consider using the System backup reminder that is built into your WinBook FX. Go to the
Security
menu of the Setup Program. (Refer to Chapter 9,
Using the Setup Program.)
Select the
System backup reminder item
, and use the <+> and <-> keys to set the frequency with which
the reminder message will appear. Consider
Weekly
or
Monthly
depending on how much you
use your WinBook FX and how often you travel with it. The reminder message will appear
whenever you boot your WinBook FX.
WARNING:
If your WinBook FX does take a heavy mechanical shock while in operation, be
sure to use the Window 95 ScanDisk utility to check for damage. If ScanDisk reports loss of
data, call Technical Support at the number listed on the "Read-Me-First" card that came with
your WinBook FX.
