Installing MS-DOS
After you connect the components of your system and run
the Setup program, you must install MS-DOS. Follow the
instructions in your MS-DOS Installation Guide.
The MS-DOS installation process automatically copies the
MS-DOS files onto your hard disk or generates working copies
of the original MS-DOS diskettes. It is best to make another set
of backup copies of your original MS-DOS diskettes. You may
also want to copy the working diskettes MS-DOS generates if
you do not have a hard disk.
