Transferring Files Using PC Cards

To transfer files using PC cards

This method of transferring files requires that the computer you are

exchanging files with is also equipped with a PC card socket.
1 Insert a PC memory or ATA card into the PC card socket of the

source computer.

2 Copy the file(s) you want to transfer from the hard disk to the PC

card.
The drive letter assigned to the card depends on the hardware

configuration of the computer.

3 Remove the card and insert it into the card socket of the destination

computer.

4 Copy the file(s) from the PC card to the hard disk of the destination

computer.

Using Bootable PC Cards

The mobile computer normally boots from the internal hard disk (drive

C); however, it might be necessary to boot from an alternate boot device

if the computer’s hard disk becomes corrupted or fails, or if you want to

boot another operating system.
You can boot from an approved external floppy disk drive (see Section 8

for more information), or you can use an SRAM PC Card or ATA Flash

Card. Boot precedence is first from the SRAM PC card (drive C), then

the external floppy (drive A, removable), and then the internal hard

drive.
