PS/1 - Creating Utility Disks for PS/1 x76 Models

Applicable to: United States

To create Utility Diskettes for the PS/1 x76, you will need two High Density diskettes (2MB).


- From the OS/2 Workplace Shell (Desktop), open the WELCOME Folder.

- Open the Configuration Tools Folder by double-clicking on it.

- Select Create Utility Diskettes.



- This will format the diskettes, make them bootable by copying the OS/2 system files to them, and copy other necessary files just as a DOS Recovery disk would.

- These necessary files include:

BACKUP.EXE

RESTORE.EXE

FORMAT.COM

FDISK.COM

CHKDSK.COM

OS2CHAR.DLL

and 15 other very important DLL files.

Directory listings of Utility Disks 1 and 2 are located in this section of the Answer Bank.
