Windows 95 dual-boot
This document is intended for use with Qualitas MAX 8 and Windows 95.
Use these instructions if you have already configured a Windows 95
dual-boot and you wish to install Qualitas MAX to both Windows 95 and
your previous Windows configuration. If you want to use Qualitas MAX
only with your Windows 95 configuration, follow the directions in the
Quick Start and installation Guide. No additional instructions are
necessary.
See your Windows 95 documentation for information on how to set up
dual-boot capabilities for Windows 95 and your previous version of
Windows. After enabling dual-boot, use these directions to install
Qualitas MAX and run Maximize on both boot configurations.
If you have not yet installed Qualitas MAX into your Windows 95
configuration, do so by following the directions in the Quick Start
and Installation Guide. When Maximize completes, restart your system
and follow these steps to install Qualitas MAX into your "Previous
version of DOS".
Boot your system and press the F8 key as soon as you see "Starting
Windows 95" . If you have successfully installed a dual-boot setup,
"Previous version of DOS" shows up as one of the menu choices. Choose
this option to boot with your previous version of DOS (valid only for
DOS versions 5.x or 6.X) and Windows. Be sure you have added any
drivers and TSRs that you wish to use in this boot configuration to
their appropriate start-up file.
1. In the QMAX directory, make backup copies of the 386MAX.PRO file
and the ExtraDOS.PRO file.
Copy 386MAX.PRO 386MAX.WIN
Copy ExtraDOS.PRO ExtraDOS.WIN.
These are the only startup files, other than CONFIG.SYS and
AUTOEXEC.BAT, that Maximize modifies. You will restore these files at
the end of this process.
2. From within your previous version of Windows (version 3.1x), run
Qualitas MAX SETUP. If you do not intend to use your previous version
of Windows, run SETUP/R from your Qualitas MAX directory in DOS.
3. When SETUP asks if you want to run Maximize, reply YES. You may
choose either express or custom Maximize.
4. As the machine reboots during each phase of Maximize, press the F8
key and select the menu option for "Previous version of DOS" for each
of the 3 reboots of Maximize so that Maximize can run to completion in
the same boot configuration. If you forget to press the F8 key when
the machine reboots, allow Windows 95 load normally. After it loads:
-Click on Start, and choose Shutdown from the menu.
-Select the option to Restart the Computer.
-As the system reboots, remember to press the F8 key. Maximize
continues where it left off (phase 1, 2 or 3).
DO NOT run PREMAXIM from the command prompt in Windows 95
5. As soon as Maximize completes, go to the Qualitas MAX directory to
rename the profiles for this configuration and restore the original
profiles for Windows 95. Do not boot into the Windows 95
configuration prior to completing this step.
First, copy the new profiles to names specific to this boot
configuration.
Copy 386MAX.PRO 386MAX.DOS
Copy ExtraDOS.PRO ExtraDOS.DOS
Edit CONFIG.SYS (type edit C:\CONFIG.SYS from the command prompt) to
place the appropriate names for this configuration on the appropriate
Qualitas MAX lines:
Find the line that points to 386MAX.PRO. Change 386MAX.PRO to read
386MAX.DOS.
DEVICE=C:\QMAX\386MAX.SYS PRO=C:\QMAX\386MAX.PRO becomes
DEVICE=C:\QMAX\386MAX.SYS PRO=C:\QMAX\386MAX.DOS
Find the line that points to ExtraDOS.PRO. Change ExtraDOS.PRO to
read ExtraDOS.DOS
DEVICE=C:\QMAX\EXTRADOS.MAX PRO=C:\QMAX\EXTRADOS.PRO becomes
DEVICE=C:\QMAX\EXTRADOS.MAX PRO=C:\QMAX\EXTRADOS.DOS
Now copy the profiles for the Windows 95 configuration back to their
original names:
Copy 386MAX.WIN 386MAX.PRO
Copy ExtraDOS.WIN ExtraDOS.PRO
You now have Qualitas MAX installed in both sections of your dual-boot
configuration.
