RUNNING THE PROGRAM
If you have Windows 3.1, please do the following:
1.  Open Program Manager.
2.  Click on File.
3.  Click on Run.
4.  Type C:\MAKEBOOT\MAKEBOOT.
5.  Click on OK.
6.  Ensure that the only checkboxes that are marked are the ones you need.
7.  Click on Format Disk.
8.  Press Enter when the program asks you to label the disk.
9.  Type N when the program asks you if you want to format another disk.
10. Click on Go.

If you have Windows 95, please do the following:
1.  Click on Start.
2.  Click on Run.
3.  Type C:\MAKEBOOT\MAKEBOOT.
5.  Click on OK.
6.  Ensure that the only checkboxes that are marked are the ones you need.
7.  Click on Format Disk.
8.  Press Enter when the program asks you to label the disk.
9.  Type N when the program asks you if you want to format another disk.
10. Click on Go.

When the program has finished making a boot disk (without any errors), a
window will appear with the message 'Process complete'.  At this point, reset
your machine with the boot disk (that the program created) in the drive.

If the computer loads successfully from the disk two things will happen:
1.  A table with your memory types will appear.
2.  The message 'You have booted from an Empire Boot Disk' will appear at the
end of the boot-up process.

Trouble-Shooting
When you click on Format Disk, the Format Disk window will open.  On some
Windows 95 machines, this window will not automatically close when you
finish formatting the disk.  You need to click on the Close button in the top
right-hand corner of the screen to get back to the Boot Disk Creator screens.

If the message 'You have booted from an Empire Boot Disk' does not appear,
the computer has not booted automatically from the floppy drive.  This will
be due to one of the following:
1.  You may need to hold down a key to boot from the floppy drive, such as 
the Ctrl key.  A message will appear on the boot-up screens if this is 
required by the computer.
2.  The computer has not been configured to read from the floppy drive first.
You need to refer to your system manuals or contact your PC helpline for
information on how to do this.

If your CD-ROM drive is not available after using the boot disk, the program
was not able to locate the CD-ROM information in your system files.  You will
therefore need to enter them manually.  Follow the instructions below to do
this.
1.  Type C: at the DOS prompt, and press Enter.
2.  Type EDIT C:\AUTOEXEC.BAT, and press Enter.
3.  Look for a line with the characters '/D:' or '/d:' in it.  Note the whole
line down.  The line will often (but not always) have the word 'MSCDEX.EXE' 
in it as well.
4.  Exit the file using the File menu.
5.  Type EDIT C:\CONFIG.SYS, and press Enter.
6.  Look for a line with the '/D:' and the three characters after it.  Note
this line down.
7.  Load MAKEBOOT For Windows.  Click on the Advanced button.  Click on
the button marked 'Enter CD-ROM lines manually - Yes'.
8.  Type the line you found in the CONFIG.SYS file in the first box.  Type
the line you found in the AUTOEXEC.BAT in the second box.
9.  Click on Format Disk and Go! as you did previously.

If you could not locate a line with '/D:' in it, your CD-ROM driver has not
been set-up for DOS mode.  You will need to contact your manufacturer for 
information on how to do this.

If your mouse does not work after using the boot disk, type MOUSE at the
DOS prompt.  If the message 'Bad command or filename' appears, contact your
PC manufacturer for information on how to load the mouse in DOS mode.
