1.4 Creating Backup and Startup Diskettes
Entering User Information
When Windows 95 loads for the first time, enter your user information. Have
your Windows 95 serial number ready, found in the Windows 95
documentation package.
Creating Backup and Startup Diskettes
If your Windows 95 package contains a Windows 95 CD-ROM,
you do not need to create Windows 95 backup diskettes.
Notebook accessories and preloaded software may differ from
region to region. Some areas may not offer the notebook
backup kit and/or online help — in such cases sections 1.4 and
1.5 may not apply to you.
Windows 95 prompts you to create backup and startup diskettes. Prepare
approximately thirty (30) 3½-inch 1.44MB diskettes for backing up Windows
95 and label them accordingly. Labels are included with the Windows 95
documentation package. After you are through labelling the disks, begin the
backup process.
Besides these disks, you need to create the notebook backup disk which
allows you to boot-up your notebook from the floppy drive and access the
CD-ROM drive for Windows 95 and driver re-installation in case of a hard
disk crash (when the hard disk is not functioning properly and cannot be
accessed) or when your system cannot startup Windows 95. See the
backup kit for details.
If you do not wish to perform the backup at this time, you can skip through
this step during Windows 95 setup. Access the Create System Disk tool
when you wish to do so. However, we suggest you create these disks as
soon as possible.
Now may be the perfect time to read through the user’s manual and get
familiar with the notebook.
