All of the 5.25-inch disks are notchless, with the exception of the Program 3 disk, which contains the SETUP.INI file used in Word’s copy protection scheme. The Setup program must be able to write to this disk to store your name or your company’s name in the SETUP.INI file.

The Optional disks contain the files necessary to run Word version 5.0b. These files will only be used if you install Word 5.0b by typing “setup 5.0” (without the quotation marks) during Setup. If you type “setup,” Setup will install Word version 5.5.

The Setup program checks the disk label to ensure that the proper disk is inserted in the floppy disk drive.

The 3.5-inch Printers disk contains PRINT1 and PRINT2 subdirectories because there are too many printer drivers to place in the root directory of the disk.

Note: 3.5-inch disks are shipped without write protection. Write protection can be set by uncovering the write protect hole on the upper right corner of the disk.
