       BACKGROUND
       
       It is always a good idea to have a floppy disk on hand that
       contains the files necessary to start your computer.  If your
       computer ever fails to start from the hard disk, then you may
       need a startup disk to troubleshoot or to reconfigure your
       system.  Note:   Neither the MS-DOS 6 Uninstall disk nor the MS-
       DOS 6 Setup Disk 1 will restart your computer properly after
       Stacker is installed.   You must follow the instructions below to
       make your MS-DOS 6 startup disk "Stacker aware."
       
       SOLUTION
       
           Create a startup disk
           Transfer Stacker files to the startup disk
       
       Create a startup disk
       
       Note:  You will need a blank floppy disk that works in your A:
       drive and the original MS-DOS 6 Setup disks to complete this
       procedure.
       
        1. If you haven't already installed Stacker 3.1, do so.
        2. Insert the MS-DOS Setup Disk 1 into drive A: or drive B:.
           Switch to that drive and type:
               setup /f <ENTER>
        3. At the Welcome screen, press ENTER again.
        4. On the next screen, ensure that the setting "Install on
           Drive:" is set to "A".  You must install on your startup
           floppy drive.
        5. Complete the installation and exit MS-DOS Setup.
            
       Transfer Stacker files to the startup disk
       
        1. Switch to the C drive and type:
       
               sys a: <Enter>
       
        2. Label the disk "Stacker Startup Disk" and put it in a safe
            place. If you ever have trouble starting your system, this
            disk will come in handy.
