12 Chapter 12 Operating System Installation and Diagnostic Testing This chapter covers methods for testing and diagnosing systems and the software you’ll use. For hardware tools, see Chapter 13, “Tools and Techniques.” Installing an Operating System on an Empty Drive Use this section for a quick reference for the procedures you’ll follow and software you’ll need to install an operating system. Installing MS-DOS Prerequisites: Create a bootable disk (containing COMMAND.COM and hidden files). The boot disk also should contain FDISK, FORMAT, SYS, and MSD, along with Help, Qbasic, and Edit files. Create the bootable disk with FORMAT A:/S on a system with the same MS-DOS version. Then, copy files from the \DOS folder. Follow these steps: 1. Boot the system with the bootable disk. 2. Run FDISK and create the partition(s) desired. The drive must have an active (which will be C: and bootable) partition; it can also have an extended partition (D: and beyond) that can contain one or more drives. 3. Exit FDISK. 4. Reboot the computer with the bootable disk. 5. Run FORMAT to format drive(s) created with FDISK: FORMAT C:/S formats & copies system files to C: FORMAT D: formats D: drive if present; repeat for E: & others 6. Remove the bootable floppy and restart the system from the C: drive. 7. Install the remainder of the operating system files from the disk or other storage device (install drivers first if necessary).

Installation <strong>and</strong><br />
Diagnostic Testing<br />
This chapter covers methods for testing <strong>and</strong> diagnosing systems<br />
<strong>and</strong> the software you’ll use. For hardware tools, see Chapter 13,<br />
“Tools <strong>and</strong> Techniques.”<br />
Installing an Operating System on<br />
an Empty Drive<br />
Use this section for a quick reference for the procedures you’ll follow<br />
<strong>and</strong> software you’ll need to install an operating system.<br />
Installing MS-DOS<br />
Prerequisites:<br />
Create a bootable disk (containing COMMAND.COM <strong>and</strong> hidden<br />
files). The boot disk also should contain FDISK, FORMAT, SYS, <strong>and</strong><br />
MSD, along with Help, Qbasic, <strong>and</strong> Edit files. Create the bootable<br />
disk with FORMAT A:/S on a system with the same MS-DOS version.<br />

can also have an extended partition (D: <strong>and</strong> beyond) that<br />
can contain one or more drives.<br />
3. Exit FDISK.<br />
4. Reboot the computer with the bootable disk.<br />
5. Run FORMAT to format drive(s) created with FDISK:<br />
FORMAT C:/S formats & copies system files to C:<br />
FORMAT D: formats D: drive if present; repeat for<br />
E: & others<br />
6. Remove the bootable floppy <strong>and</strong> restart the system from the<br />
C: drive.<br />
7. Install the remainder of the operating system files from the<br />
disk or other storage device (install drivers first if necessary).
