Using Hard Disk Drives; Stopping A Command Or Program - Epson Endeavor L User Manual

Using Hard Disk Drives

Using a hard disk is similar to using diskettes. The hard disk
drive, however, can contain many times more information than
a diskette. Your system can also perform read and write
operations to the hard disk more quickly than to a diskette.
As you use your hard disk drive, keep these points in mind:
Hard disks can contain hundreds of files of information.
Use the file management techniques described in your
operating system manual.
Make sure your hard disk drive has been partitioned and
formatted for your operating system before you use it. See
your operating system manual for instructions. If your
system was configured for you, your hard disk drive is
ready to use.
Make sure you back up your hard disk files regularly to
diskettes or tapes in case you have a problem with your
hard disk drive.
Never turn off or reset your computer when the hard disk
access light is on. You could lose data.

Stopping a Command or Program

You may sometimes need to stop a command or program while
it is running. If you have entered an MS-DOS or application
program command that you want to stop, try one of the
following:
0 Press Pause
0 P r e s s Ctrl C
0 Press Ctrl Break.
