Check to make sure the DiskOnChip is installed securely and there are no pins bent.
Caution: The DiskOnChip may be permanently damaged if installed incorrectly!
Install the DiskOnChip as drive C:\
To install the DiskOnChip as drive C:\ on a system without hard disk, set the CMOS setup of drive
C:\ to ‘not installed’ (indicating that no physical magnetic disk is installed) and reboot the computer.
The DiskOnChip will install as drive C:\. It needs to be formatted with the system files to make it bootable drive. See ‘Configure the DiskOnChip as the BOOT device’ below.
Install the DiskOnChip as drive D:\
To install the DiskOnChip as drive D:\ on a system with a hard disk, just reboot the system and the
DiskOnChip will install as drive D:\.
Configure the DiskOnChip as Boot device
In order to configure the DiskOnChip as the boot device, the operating system files need to be copied into it. Copying the operating system files into DiskOnChip should be done as if it is done to a hard disk. The following is an example of a typical initialization process:
-
-
-
Set the DiskOnChip as a regular drive in your system (not a boot drive)
Install a bootable floppy disk in drive A:\ (e.g. an USB Floppy Drive) and boot the system
At the DOS prompt type SYS C:\ to transfer the DOS system files to the DiskOnChip
(assuming the DiskOnChip is installed as drive C:\)
-
Copy any files needed to the DiskOnChip
Remove the floppy disk and reboot the system. The system will boot from DiskOnChip and will allow you to run and access any files that have been copied to DiskOnChip.
