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.
