Load the default settings for your computer through the Configuration/Setup Utility program. To access the Configuration/Setup Utility program, press F1 after starting your computer. Information on starting and using the Configuration/Setup Utility program is provided in Using Your Personal Computer provided with your computer.
If you have changed the cabling inside your computer (for example, after installing a new drive), ensure that the IDE hard disk drive is set as master and connected to the primary IDE connector and the IDE CD-ROM drive is set as master and connected to the secondary IDE connector. If you have not changed the cabling inside your computer, the IDE drives in your computer are set appropriately.
Software
Windows 95 diskettes (retail version)
