Making Backup Copies of Your Files Before you start using your computer, it's a good idea to make a backup copy of your hard disk drive. Use the MWBACKUP utility in the Windows Applications group or the MS-DOS BACKUP command to back up the contents of the drive. Refer to the Windows Help utility for instructions on using MWBACKUP; use the MS-DOS help utility for instructions on using BACKUP. You should make backup copies of any diskettes you have that contain programs and store the copies away from your originals. Also be sure to regularly back up your hard disk drive to preserve the files and programs you store there. Your hard disk drive includes a C:\ BACKUP directory containing important system configuration files. If you need to restore the original versions of these files, use DOS or the Windows File Manager to copy them from the BACKUP directory. Copy CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT to C:\ Copy *.INI to C:\ WINDOWS. Running the Setup Program The Setup program defines your system's configuration so the computer recognizes all of its devices. The Setup program is stored in the computer's ROM (read only memory), where you can access it any time you turn on or reset the computer. The configuration you define through Setup is stored in a special area of memory, which is backed up by a battery and is not erased when you turn off or reset the computer.
