MS-DOS

= SUMMARY =

Because Drive C on the Toshiba T1000 is a read-only ROM drive, if you choose to modify the CONFIG.SYS file when running Setup, you will receive the error message “Setup cannot use your disk.” The only option at this point is to cancel Setup. To avoid this problem, complete the following steps:

  Place a formatted 720K disk in Drive A and type the following DOS commands at the A: prompt (press the ENTER key when you see ): COPY CON CONFIG.SYS  FILES=15      At the A prompt, type the following: SETUP10 Note: This is a special T1000 configuration command that lets you set certain configuration parameters. For more information, see Pages 5-12 to 5-18 in your T1000 user’s manual.   You will see a menu with the words “System Setup” at the top. There will be a message at the bottom of the screen “Do you want to change the setup?” The word “Yes” will be highlighted or flashing. Press ENTER twice, press the LEFT ARROW key, and press ENTER two more times. The screen will display “Copy completed.” Take the disk out of the disk drive and press ENTER to reboot the system. The SETUP10 program copies the CONFIG.SYS file from the disk in Drive A to a battery-backed RAM drive on the T1000, and it becomes the active CONFIG.SYS file. The ROM CONFIG.SYS file is ignored until you rerun SETUP10 and reset the RAM CONFIG file option to “No.”   Put the Works “Setup/Utilities and Learn 3” disk in Drive A and run Setup. Choose “No” to install the Works mouse driver and “No” when Setup asks if you want to modify the FILES setting in your CONFIG.SYS.   If you are using a Microsoft Mouse, replace the disk in Drive A with the original Program and Accessories disk and copy the file MOUSE.COM to a convenient directory location either on your working copy disk or on the T1000 D drive. Create a file named AUTOEXEC.BAT in the root directory of Drive D containing the following line (where path represents the path to the directory containing MOUSE.COM): PATH Note: The ROM AUTOEXEC.BAT file contains a conditional statement that executes the second AUTOEXEC.BAT file on Drive D if one exists.   Reboot your computer and place your working copy in Drive A. The program is now ready for use. </li></ol>
