If you select

the computer loads the operating system

from drive C. If it doesn’t find the operating system on drive C,

it checks the diskette in drive A. This setting allows the

computer to load the operating system a little faster.

Setting the Virus Warning

Your computer contains a built-in virus warning function to

protect your data should a software virus come in contact with

your system.

If the Virus

Warning option is enabled, the system displays a

virus warning message when it detects a program attempting

to write to the boot sector on either a diskette or the hard disk

drive. You must respond to a prompt either to allow a

legitimate program (such as the MS-DOS FORMAT command)

to write to the boot sector or to deny access to a program that

shouldn’t be writing to the boot sector.

If you install an operating system, it writes to the boot sector as

you install it. In this case, you probably do not want the virus

warning feature enabled. Therefore, your system initially has the

virus warning feature disabled. This way you won’t need to

respond to the virus warning prompts if you install an

operating system. Once you have installed it, you can enable

this option to take advantage of the virus warning feature.
