Downloading & Installing
Step-by-Step IBM PC
Year 2000 Compatibility Tool Installation Instructions
To successfully download and install the IBM PC
Year 2000 Compatibility Tool, follow the steps listed below. Please note that a
self-booting diskette will be created in step 5, and you will need a floppy diskette for
this step. The Compatibility Tool will function ONLY when the system is booted to that
diskette.
- After you have clicked on the IBM Year 2000
Compatibility Tool link, you must select "I AGREE" after reading the License
Agreement to continue.
- A file screen will appear with the file name
"d46t##a" (where ## is revision number).
- Select "SAVE" to download the file to
your system. (Suggestion: Save the file in a temporary directory)
- Insert the floppy diskette into Drive A of your
system.
- After the download is complete, select the file
(d46t##a) to open it, and follow the specific instructions located in the file.
- These short instructions clearly guide you in
creating a system diskette. This diskette contains the Compatibility Tool.
- Name the diskette.
- Keep the diskette in Drive A of your machine, and
then reboot the machine by switching it off then on again, or by pressing the keys
CRT-ALT-Del simultaneously.
- REMINDER: The Compatibility Tool will work ONLY
when run from the diskette.
