What you need

Just as you need paper to make copies of important documents, you need

floppy disks to make copies of the information on your hard disk. You can

probably buy the floppy disks at the same place you bought your computer.

Floppy disks come in a variety of sizes and capacities. The ones you need for

backing up your hard disk are called high-density 3.5-inch disks. You can

recognize the disks by the way they look:

Even though these disks have a hard plastic casing, they are called “floppy

disks” because the disk inside the casing is floppy.

Before you start making your disks, you’ll need to decide if you want to make

a full set or a minimum set of disks. When you make a full set, you’ll make

disks for your system software and most of the other software that comes on

your computer. When you make a minimum set, you’ll make just the core

system software disks. It is best to make a full set, so you’ll have installer

disks for your system software and most of the other software that comes on

your computer. However, making a full set requires more disks and more time

than making a minimum set. At the very least, make a minimum set of disks

now. If you choose to make a minimum set, you can make disks for the other

software later.

If you don’t have disks on hand, you can skip these instructions for the

moment. But the sooner you make the system software disks, the better. Buy

the disks as soon as possible; then return to this section and follow these

instructions.

IMPORTANT

Be sure you make at least a minimum set of disks as soon as

possible, in case you need to reinstall your system software.

High-density disks
