Aptiva - Procedure to successfully SYS a 2159 system unit

Applicable to: United States

1. Boot off the Diagnostics CD-ROM.

2. Press "0" to get to the A: prompt. (This is the number zero not the letter O)

3. At the "A:" prompt type: "SYS C:"

4. Reboot the system (it will start to reboot and then stop at a C: prompt - it WILL NOT go into Windows 95).

5. Change to WINDOWS\OPTIONS\CABS and run Setup.

Once Setup is done running the system will be working just as it did prior to the SYS and you will not have had to FFR the system unit (FDISK/Format/Reload).
