Replacement copies of this diskette are not available. As soon as possible, make a backup copy of this diskette, and use the backup copy for reinstalling Windows 95. 2.0 Selecting a Language _________________________ The following information is different from the information contained in "The Microsoft Windows 95 CD" booklet (PC 300PL models only): When the recovery program is started, select the language of the "Microsoft Windows 95" CD you are using to reinstall Windows 95. In some cases, the instructions and messages for reinstalling Windows 95 are displayed in that language; otherwise, they are displayed in U.S. English. Select "More languages" for a screen of additional languages. NOTE: Make sure that the language you select is the same as the language of the "Microsoft Windows 95" CD. If you select a different language, the recovery program might not be able to find the necessary files on the CD. 3.0 Using External Parallel Port CD-ROM Device Drivers _______________________________________________________ If you select U.S. English when you run this diskette, you can select a device driver for an external Disctec Roadrunner parallel port CD-ROM drive when you select option 2 (Select a CD-ROM driver from the list) from the CD-ROM Configuration Selections screen. This device driver is also available on "Microsoft Windows 95" CDs in the following languages: Asia Pacific English, Czech, Greek, Hebrew, Hungarian, Pan European Edition, Polish, Russian, and Thai. 4.0 Enabling FAT 32 Support ____________________________ If you want to enable FAT 32 file system support, you must do so before running the Windows 95 recovery program. If you enable FAT 32 file system support, the entire hard disk will be partitioned and formatted, and any software and data on the hard disk will be deleted. If possible, back up all your software and data before partitioning and formatting the hard disk and reinstalling Windows 95. After you have reinstalled Windows 95, you must reinstall any application programs and device drivers that were previously installed. To enable FAT 32 support: 1. Insert the "CD-ROM Setup Boot Disk" into drive A. 2. Turn on or restart the computer. The recovery program starts automatically. 3. At the first screen, press Shift+F5. This takes you to an A: prompt. 4. Type CLS and press Enter to clear the screen. 5. At the A: prompt, type FDISK; then type Y to enable large-disk support. An FDISK Options screen appears. To enable FAT 32 support, all logical drives and DOS partitions must be deleted and new ones created. Select the appropriate option. 6. After completing this procedure, restart the diskette by pressing Ctrl+Alt+Delete, or shut down and restart the computer. 7. You can now run the Windows 95 recovery program to reinstall Windows 95. At the Partitioning and Formatting screen, select option 2 (Do not partition the hard disk). 5.0 Reinstalling Device Drivers ________________________________ The device drivers for some hardware devices might be reinstalled with Windows 95.
