Selecting Disk Drives
The first step in starting any DOS
Utility operation is selection of the
Drive where the operation is to begin.
The last line of the screen always shows
the Drive currently Selected.
The System will not permit you to select
a Drive that is not present on your
hardware.
When you Select another Drive, the
System will automatically read the
Directory structure before performing
any operation.
Making Directories on Disk
To make a Directory on a Disk/Diskette
the arrow keys are used to point to the
desired location of the Directory or
Sub-Directory. Directories are created
from the Root Directory (represented on
the first line of the Tree by \) and
Sub-Directories are created by pointing
to (highlighting) the Directory where
the Sub-Directory is to be created.
After Creating a subdirectory the
System will automatically read the
directory structure of the Disk.
Deleting a Directory
Only empty Directories may be deleted.
The arrow keys are used to point to
(highlight) the Directory to be deleted.
Pressing the Enter key (
) will delete
the highlighted Directory.
If you try to delete a directory that
is not empty, an error message will be
displayed.
After deleting a directory, the system
will automatically read the new directory
structure of the disk.
Rename a Directory
The arrow keys are used to point to
(highlight) the Directory to be Renamed.
Pressing the Enter key (
) will Rename
the highlighted Directory.
After Renaming a directory, the system
will automatically read the new directory
structure of the disk.
Naming / Renaming a Disk Volume
The procedure is the same to rename a
Disk/Diskette Volume as it is to Name
a Volume. You will be prompted to enter
the Volume Name. After entering the
name of the volume you will be presented
with three options.
Proceed - Place name on disk
Edit - Change the name you entered
Exit - Cancel the operation
Reading Directories
This function should not be required if
this system is used to create or delete
all directories on your disk. If you
create or delete a directory from the
DOS command line, then when you re-start
this system you should use this option
to rebuld the directory structure that
is maintained by the system.
It is good practice to use this option
periodically to read the directories on
each drive of your hard disk.
System Information
This function provides you with a way
to check or verify your system facilities.
Examples follow:
DOS Version
CPU Type
Parallel Ports
Serial Ports
Base Memory
Free Memory
Extended Memory Co-processor
Total Disk Space Free Disk Space
This is very useful if you need to use
a machine that you are not familiar with.
Format Diskettes
This facility provides a very easy way
to format a diskette. You may do a quick
format (only boot sector & FAT) or a
full format. The quick format can save a
lot of time when re-formatting diskettes
for re-use. This utility can be used for
the following diskettes.
5 1/4" 360K
5 1/4" 1.2M
3 1/2" 720K
3 1/2" 1.4M
Copy Diskettes
This utility provides a facility for
building a file on your hard disk of a
diskette. This image file can then be
used to make as many copies as desired
without reading the diskette again.
If you do not have access to a diskette
copier, this utility can save a lot of
time. Depending on your equipment, you
may make up to 90 copies per hour for
360K diskettes.
The system will prompt you for approval
before copying to a diskette containing
data.
