================================== WINDOWS 95 BOOT DISK MAKER for Falcon 3.0 and Falcon Gold Spectrum HoloByte 10/18/95 ================================= This program will make a boot disk that creates an optimized Windows 95 system configuration for use with Falcon 3.0 or a full installation of Falcon Gold. (This boot disk maker will not work with only a CD-ROM install of Falcon Gold.) In order for this program to work properly, please read and follow the instructions below. If you're installing this from a floppy disk, skip right to step #2. NOTE: You must reboot Windows 95 in MS-DOS mode FIRST before launching the boot disk maker. Make sure you're COMPLETELY out of Windows 95! You will also need a blank floppy disk to format for your drive A. Have one ready. 1) If you download FAL95.EXE from our BBS or any of our supported on-line services: a) Download the FAL95.EXE directly into the Falcon 3.0 directory or the Falcon Gold directory. Or you can download FAL95.EXE into its own directory and then copy the file into the Falcon 3.0 or Falcon Gold directory. b) Change to your Falcon 3.0 or Falcon Gold directory (usually by typing "CD\FALCON3" or "CD\FALCONCD"). c) At the DOS prompt, type "FAL95" and press Enter. This will extract the files for the boot disk maker program. d) When you see the DOS prompt again, type "BOOTMKR" and press Enter again to run the boot disk maker program. e) Follow the instructions onscreen to create the Windows 95 boot disk for Falcon 3.0 and Falcon Gold. f) Once the boot disk is made and the mouse driver (MOUSE.COM or MOUSE.EXE) is on the boot disk, reboot your computer with the boot disk in drive A. When your computer is finished booting, you will see an A:\> prompt. Change to the drive where Falcon 3.0 or Falcon Gold is installed (for example, type "C:" if the game is on drive C). Then change to the directory where Falcon 3.0 or Falcon Gold is installed (for example, type "CD\FALCON3" or "CD\FALCONCD"). Now you can run the game. 2) If you copy the Windows 95 boot disk maker from a floppy disk: a) Change to your floppy drive (usually by typing "A:" and pressing Enter). b) Copy all the files from the floppy disk to your Falcon 3.0 or Falcon Gold directory. If you have not changed directory names from "FALCON3" or "FALCONCD," follow the instructions below: For Falcon 3.0 (floppy disk version) ------------------------------------ If Falcon 3.0 is on drive C, type "COPY *.* C:\FALCON3" and press Enter. If Falcon 3.0 is not on drive C, substitute the appropriate drive letter for "C" in the above example. For Falcon Gold (the CD-ROM version) ------------------------------------ If Falcon Gold is on drive C, type "COPY *.* C:\FALCON CD" and press Enter. If Falcon Gold is not on drive C, substitute the appropriate drive letter for "C" in the above example. c) Change to the drive where you installed Falcon 3.0 or Falcon Gold. (For example, if the game is on drive C, type "C:" and press Enter.) d) Change to the directory where you installed Falcon 3.0 or Falcon Gold. (For example, type "CD\FALCON3" or "CD\FALCONCD"). e) Type "BOOTMKR" and press Enter to run the boot disk maker. f) Once the boot disk is made and the mouse driver (MOUSE.COM or MOUSE.EXE) is on the boot disk, reboot your computer with the boot disk in drive A. When your computer is finished booting, you will see an A:\> prompt. Change to the drive where Falcon 3.0 or Falcon Gold is installed (for example, type "C:" if the game is on drive C). Then change to the directory where Falcon 3.0 or Falcon Gold is installed (for example, type "CD\FALCON3" or "CD\FALCONCD"). Now you can run the game. NOTICE! If you have DriveSpace installed on your system, this boot disk maker will not free up enough conventional memory in order to run the game. You must remove DriveSpace from your system in order for the boot disk maker to work properly.
