2.2.2 Installing the Software
The Programming Disk supplied with the Haltech E6H/E6M has an installation program that
allows you to install the software onto the PC’s Hard Disk. Most modern PCs have a hard
disk. If your PC does not have a hard disk, the E6H/E6M Program can run directly from the
disk supplied. Installing the software on the Hard Disk will speed up the program and avoid
having to fiddle around with floppy disks. The installation program need only be run once.
If you do not have a Hard Disk, go to the section titled Running the Software from the
Floppy Drive.
To install the software follow these steps.
Boot up Computer
Turn your PCs power on and boot up MS-DOS as instructed by the computers Users Manual.
If a shell program or menu utility runs automatically when you boot your computer, exit it
now. You should see something like this:
C:\>_
This is the ‘DOS Prompt’. It is DOS’ way of indicating that it is waiting for a command. The
C: indicates that the C drive is the drive currently selected. If you do not have a hard disk,
your prompt will probably look like this :
A:\>_
Select the Drive
To run the INSTALL program, you must insert the supplied disk in the disk drive. If the drive
is the A drive, then it must be currently selected. To select the A drive (or B drive if it is the
required drive) type :

The
← key is the Enter Key. On some keyboards it may be called the Return key. You should
now see the prompt :
A:\>_ or B:\>_
