T1200XE and T1000LE.
To use the hard RAM disk, do the following before installing
MS-DOS 5.0:
• Back up your hard RAM disk.
• Using the Toshiba Setup program, delete the hard RAM
disk by allocating zero kilobytes to it. All data on
the hard RAM disk will be lost.
• Restart your system.
• Install MS-DOS 5.0.
• Use the Toshiba Setup program to reinstall the hard RAM
disk.
• Run FDISK, change to drive 2, and create a primary DOS
partition. Quit FDISK.
• Use the FORMAT command to format drive D.
2.17 Unix And Xenix Partitions
If your system includes Unix or Xenix partitions in addition
to standard DOS partitions, and you receive a message saying
a partition is incompatible with MS-DOS 5.0, install MS-DOS
5.0 by typing the following:
2.18 Apricot XEN-S Computer
To install MS-DOS 5.0 on an Apricot XEN-S computer:
• Remove the DEVICE=AEMM386.SYS command from your
CONFIG.SYS file.
• Restart your system.
• Run Setup.
• Put the DEVICE=AEMM386.SYS command back in your
CONFIG.SYS file and restart your system.
2.19 4DOS
Setup replaces the SHELL command in your CONFIG.SYS file
with one that invokes COMMAND.COM. To recover your 4DOS
SHELL command, retrieve it from the original CONFIG.SYS
file, which is saved as CONFIG.DAT on your Uninstall disk.
If external DOS utilities display messages that refer to
error numbers, contact JP Software for an upgrade.
2.20 LapLink
If you use Traveling Software LapLink, disable the LapLink
device driver before you install MS-DOS version 5.0. The
driver conflicts with the Setup program. Once you install
MS-DOS version 5.0, reenable the LapLink driver.
2.21 Stacker
If you have Stacker version 2.0 or later, follow the
instructions in your Stacker manual to update to MS-DOS 5.0.
If youhave Stacker version 1.1 or earlier, obtain an
automatic update utility from Stac Electronics.
2.22 Dell DOS 3.30
Some Dell DOS 3.30 installations were done with a utility
called AFORMAT, which creates and formats multiple 32 MB
partitions. These extended partitions become invisible with
MS-DOS 5.0 unless you run a utility called FIXPART before or
after upgrading to MS-DOS 5.0. Contact Dell to obtain the
FIXPART utility.
2.23 Tandy with ROM DOS
Contact your hardware manufacturer for information about
upgrading a Tandy computer with ROM DOS to MS-DOS 5.0. This

If Setup directed you to this section, you have a hard disk
that Setup cannot make compatible with MS-DOS 5.0. You need
to install MS-DOS 5.0 manually. For instructions, see the
section "How do I set up MS-DOS 5 Upgrade manually?" in
Chapter 5 of Getting Started.
