Introduction

If your system included Dell-installed software, Dell provides a menu that allows
you to make program diskette sets of your Dell-installed software (programs,
drivers, and utilities; a CD-ROM with your operating system accompanied your
computer). A

program diskette set is an uninstalled version of a software package

that you can use to reinstall or reconfigure the software. You can use this same
menu to remove

diskette image files (individual files that correspond to each dis-

kette in a program diskette set) to reclaim space on the computer’s hard-disk
drive. For more information on making program diskette sets, see the online help
provided in the Dell Program Diskette Maker, which is located in the Dell Acces-
sories folder.

program, which is a DMI browser that allows you to

view your computer’s current hardware configuration and operating system ver-
sion. The Dell OpenManage provides information you may need if you call Dell for
technical assistance or if you install hardware or software in your system. The
Dell OpenManage program is located in the Dell Accessories folder. For more
information on the Dell OpenManage program, see the next subsection, “Man-
ageability Features.”
