Starting and Exiting MS-DOS
Remember, before you can run an MS-DOS application
program, MS-DOS itself must be running in memory. Follow
these steps to load MS-DOS:
1. Turn on any peripherals, such as the printer or an external
diskette drive.
2. If your system has a hard disk, be sure its power switch is
turned on.
3. If your system does not have a hard disk, insert the
working copy of your MS-DOS system diskette into drive
A, on the right side of the computer.
4. Turn on your computer.
Note
If your system has a hard disk that is set to boot MS-DOS
automatically, be sure that no diskette is in drive A.
MS-DOS loads automatically from the hard disk when you
turn on the computer. See Chapter 2 for more information
on the hard disk.
5. Press Enter twice to accept the date and time shown.
