Make copies of all your system and applicatioon program diskettes before copying the programs to the hard disk. Your computer comes with video drivers and utilities already installed on the hard disk. To protect these these important files, you should back them up before you begin using your system. The files are located in two directories, C:\WINDOWS\VGAUTIL and C:\VGAUTIL. Your can back up these directories using either the Windows File Manager or the MS-DOS XCOPY command. See your MS-DOS or Windows documentation f o r m o r e information about copying files and directories. See page 2-10 for more information about using the video utilites and drivers.

The passward function is optional and you do not have to set a password if you don't wantdon'twant You use the Setup program to first enable or disable a password and then define it. (See Chapter 5 for instructions.) If you enable the power-on password, you must enter it each time you turn on or reset your computer. (Resetting the computer is described later in this chapter.)
