          TITLE: CREATION OF A BOOTABLE DR DOS FLOPPY DISK
   DOCUMENT ID#: FYI-M-1199
           DATE: 08SEPT92
        PRODUCT: DR DOS
PRODUCT VERSION: 6.0
     SUPERSEDES:


ISSUE/PROBLEM
Endusers who have used either SuperStor or Security will need to create
special boot disks to be able to properly see their data.

SOLUTION
The disk created by this procedure will allow access to a SuperStor'ed hard
disk as well as a secure one.

1. When booted from your hard disk, insert a blank floppy into drive A:
   Then type the following:-
                              FORMAT A: /S

   The floppy will be formatted and the operating systems files transferred.

2. When this is complete, you will need to copy some device drivers on to 
   the floppy too.

   Copy the following files from hard disk to floppy:-

   SSTORDRV.SYS
   DEVSWAP.COM             These 2 files are in the root directory.

   LOGIN.EXE
   LOGIN.TXT
   LOGIN.ERR               These 3 files are in the DRDOS directory.

3. You will then need to create a CONFIG.SYS file on the floppy.
   To use the DR DOS editor type in:-
                                       EDITOR A:CONFIG.SYS
   
   When asked if you want to create a new file, answer Y.
   Then type the following lines:-

   INSTALL=LOGIN.EXE
   DEVICE=SSTORDRV.SYS
   DEVICE=DEVSWAP.COM

   Then save the file by pressing CTRL KX.

   You should now be able to boot from this floppy disk.

   (NB. When prompted for a password, you must enter the MASTER password.)
