However, actual performance of each such product is dependent upon factors such as system configuration, customer data, and operator control. [. . . ] The other set of files contains configuration information for using your NEC Versa without the docking station (in a mobile state). Before creating your separate system files, we recommend that you create a start-up diskette that contains your current configuration files. A start-up diskette lets you boot your computer with your current configuration in case of mistakes that may corrupt the system files. Errors in systems files can sometimes keep your system from booting up. Setting Up and Using the Software 3-15 Creating a Start-Up Diskette Create a start-up diskette as follows. (For details, see the MS-DOS user's guide that came with the NEC Versa. ) 1. From the DOS prompt (C:>), type the following command to format a diskette in drive a: using the /s option. (If you are using a different diskette drive, use the correct drive letter. ) format a: /s 3. At the prompt, insert a blank diskette and press Enter to begin formatting. 4. Once the diskette is formatted, enter a volume name and press Enter or press Enter to skip naming the volume. While the diskette is still in the drive, type the following and press Enter to copy the CONFIG. SYS file to the diskette. copy c:\config. sys a:\*. * 7. Type the following and press Enter to copy the AUTOEXEC. BAT file to diskette. copy c:\autoexec. bat a:\*. * 8. Remove the diskette from the drive, label it, and store it in a safe place. Creating a Second Configuration File Keep your current configuration files available for use, by copying them with a different name to the current directory as follows. 3-16 Setting Up and Using the Software 1. Type the following command at the DOS prompt (C:>) and press Enter. copy AUTOEXEC. BAT AUTOMO. BAT 2. Type the following command at the DOS prompt and press Enter. copy CONFIG. SYS CONMO. SYS 3. Follow the instructions in your NEC Versa user's guide to create a docked configuration. 4. After you reboot your system to activate the docked con- figuration, copy the new system files by typing the following at the DOS prompt and pressing Enter. copy AUTOEXEC. BAT AUTODS. BAT 5. Type the following command at the DOS prompt and press Enter. copy CONFIG. SYS CONDS. SYS Switching between Configurations Once you copy the system files as described in the preceding section, you can switch between configurations as follows. You only need to follow this procedure when you want to change to the other configuration. The configuration you choose will remain the default until you change it. 1. While your system is still on, exit Windows and go to the DOS prompt. 2. Copy the configuration file you want to use and rename it as the active file. (The active system files are: AUTOEXEC. BAT and CONFIG. SYS. ) To do so, type the following at the DOS prompt and press Enter.
