2/8 APRICOT 340 OWNER’S HANDBOOK
Backing-up the pre-installed software
Apricot computers with a hard disk normally arrive with an
operating system pre-installed. The hard disk also contains a
complete set of Cirrus Logic video display drivers, although initially
the computer is configured to use the standard VGA Windows
driver. Additional software may be pre-installed by your supplier.
We recommend that you copy or back up any pre-installed software
soon after setting up the system. This is particularly important for
systems which are supplied without installation diskettes for the
software on the hard disk. A back up copy will safeguard the pre-
installed software against loss if the hard disk fails or if you
accidentally overwrite or delete files.
♦
A disk imaging utility is provided with Windows 95 and
Windows for Workgroups. This allows you to create
installation diskettes for the operating system, and some other
software, from disk images pre-installed on the hard disk. See
the utility’s on-line help for more information.
♦
To back up other pre-installed software (and your own files)
use the Backup tool in the System Tools folder (if you have
Windows 95) or Backup for Windows (if you have Windows
for Workgroups).
Any copy you make of pre-installed software must be used only as a
back-up copy, in case the pre-installed version is lost. You are not
allowed to use installation diskettes created from disk images to
install the software onto another computer.
