Boot-Up Function
If you are using the Windows
®
98SE* Operating Systems the T.sonic
™
can be configured to act as an
MS-DOS Boot Disk. After you setup the
T.sonic
™
you can use it to boot-up your computer, allowing you to
run MS-DOS programs. This does not make the
T.sonic
™
a Rescue Disk for Windows, nor does it put
Windows Startup files onto your
T.sonic
™
. After booting with the T.sonic
™
, you must start Windows from
your hard drive, or a previously created Rescue Disk.
To use the Boot-Up function, you must log in to the Windows OS with Administrator rights.
A maximum capacity of 512MB is reserved for the Boot-Up disk sector in the USB-HDD (Windows
®
98SE only) formats.
