If a directory listing is displayed, even if there are no entries, it

means that your hard disk system is ready to receive files. If the

active routines of MS-DOS have been loaded on to the hard

disk, you will see the COMMAND.COM file at the beginning

of the directory listing.

If the computer responded to the A > C: command with:

Invalid drive specification

it means

that MS-DOS can’t “find” the hard disk drive. This

is either because the hard disk controller board has been

incorrectly set up, or more likely, the hard disk drive has not

yet been partitioned.

If the computer correctly executed the C: command, but failed

to run a directory, it probably means that the hard disk has
been partitioned, but not yet formatted.

Once you have made sure the hard disk is ready to receive files

you may proceed with the RESTORE procedure. The routine

described below should only be used to restore the entire

contents of the backup archive diskettes to an empty hard disk.
For information on partial backups to a hard disk drive

containing files, see the entry for the RESTORE command, in
your MS-DOS User’s Guide, “MS-DOS Commands.”

First, set the C drive directory to the root directory by entering

the command:

6-20
