Medalist 8641, 6531, 4321 and 3221, Rev. B 21 Advanced Disk Manager options The Disk Manger online manual Disk Manager contains an extensive online manual. This manual includes detailed installation instructions, troubleshooting and a list of master/slave jumper settings for many popular hard drives. To view the Disk Manager online manual, insert the Disk Manager diskette into drive A and type A:\DM /H. Then press ENTER. You can also view the online manual from within Disk Manager by selecting (V)iew/Print Online Manual in the main menu. Booting from a diskette If Disk Manager installs the dynamic drive overlay (DDO) to access the full capacity of your drive, the DDO must load into memory before the operating system loads. This occurs automatically when you boot from your hard drive (drive C). However, if you boot from a diskette, the DDO will not be loaded and you will not be able to access your hard drive. The following procedure allows you to boot from a diskette and still access your hard drive. 1. Boot the computer from the hard disc (with no diskette in the diskette drive). 2. When the Disk Manager banner appears on the screen, immediately press the SPACEBAR (you have about 2 seconds). 3. Insert your boot diskette and press the SPACEBAR again. If you boot from a diskette regularly, you can create a Dynamic Drive Overlay boot diskette. It loads DDO into memory and then loads the operating system. See the Disk Manager online manual for more information about creating a dynamic drive overlay boot diskette.

The Disk Manger online manual
Disk Manager contains an extensive online manual. This manual
includes detailed installation instructions, troubleshooting and a
list of master/slave jumper settings for many popular hard drives.
To view the Disk Manager online manual, insert the Disk Man-
ager diskette into drive A and type
A:\DM /H
. Then press
ENTER
.
You can also view the online manual from within Disk Manager
by selecting
(V)iew/Print Online Manual
in the main menu.
Booting from a diskette
If Disk Manager installs the dynamic drive overlay (DDO) to
access the full capacity of your drive, the DDO must load into
memory before the operating system loads. This occurs auto-
matically when you boot from your hard drive (drive C). However,
if you boot from a diskette, the DDO will not be loaded and you
will not be able to access your hard drive. The following proce-
dure allows you to boot from a diskette and still access your hard
drive.
1.
Boot the computer from the hard disc (with no diskette in the
diskette drive).
2.
When the Disk Manager banner appears on the screen,
immediately press the
SPACEBAR
(you have about 2 seconds).
3.
Insert your boot diskette and press the
SPACEBAR
again.
If you boot from a diskette regularly, you can create a Dynamic
Drive Overlay boot diskette. It loads DDO into memory and then
loads the operating system. See the Disk Manager online man-
ual for more information about creating a dynamic drive overlay
boot diskette.
