1. Power off the computer.
2. Insert the Drive Key into one of the computer's USB ports and remove all other USB storage devices except USB diskette drives.
3. Insert a bootable DOS diskette with FDISK.COM and either SYS.COM or FORMAT.COM into a diskette drive and turn on the computer to boot to the DOS diskette.
4. Run FDISK from the A:\ prompt by typing FDISK and pressing Enter. If prompted, click Yes (Y) to enable large disk support.
5. Enter Choice [5] to display the drives in the system. The Drive Key will be the drive that closely matches the size of one of the drives listed. It will usually be the last drive in the list. Note the letter of the drive.

How to Create a Bootable Drive Key

Caution: If a drive does not match the Drive Key, do not proceed. Data loss can occur. Check all USB ports for additional storage devices. If any are found, remove them, reboot the computer, and proceed from step 4. If none are found, either the system does not support the Drive Key or the Drive Key is defective. DO NOT proceed in attempting to make the Drive Key bootable.

6. Exit FDISK by pressing the Esc key to return to the A:\ prompt.
7. If your bootable DOS diskette contains SYS.COM, go to step 8. Otherwise, go to step 9.
8. At the A:\ prompt, enter SYS x: where x represents the drive letter noted above. Go to step 13.
Caution: Be sure that you have entered the correct drive letter for the Drive Key.
After the system files have been transferred, SYS will return to the A:\ prompt.
9. Copy any files you want to keep from your Drive Key to a temporary directory on another drive (for example, the system's internal hard drive).
10. At the A:\ prompt, enter FORMAT /S X: where X represents the drive letter noted above.
Caution: Be sure that you have entered the correct drive letter for the Drive Key.
FORMAT will display one or more warnings and ask you each time whether you want to proceed. Enter y each time. FORMAT will
format the Drive Key, add the system files, and ask for a Volume
Label.
11. Press Enter for no label or enter one if desired.
12. Copy any files you saved in step 9 back to your Drive Key.
13. Remove the diskette and reboot the computer. The computer will boot to the Drive Key as drive C.
