WINDOWS

Summary:

Zenith’s Tempest Division has developed a system for government use that uses a 53 megabyte (MB) removable hard drive. Windows applications, such as Microsoft Word for Windows and Microsoft PowerPoint for Windows, do not install to removable hard drives.

More Information:

On the Zenith system, the ROM BIOS drive-type 12 matches the parameters for the hard drive but is listed in the system as a fixed device. To set this hard drive temporarily as a fixed device, use the Zenith ROM Setup program and set the drive type to 12. Then reboot the system.

After installing your Windows applications, set the drive type back to the original setting and then reboot the system.

The products included here are manufactured by vendors independent of Microsoft; we make no warranty, implied or otherwise, regarding these products’ performance or reliability.
