$1

   ADM Plus defaults to drive 0 (the first hard disk drive).

   This command allows you to switch to the other drive if two
hard disk drives are in the system.

$2

   If your hard disk is a non-standard type (i.e. the hard disk
parameters are not defined in the system's ROM BIOS), you should
use this command to enter the exact parameters such as number of
cylinders, landing zone, number of heads, sectors per track and
write precompansation cylinder. Otherwise, the space on the hard
disk will not be completely utilized.

NOTE: 1. ADM Plus supports a maximum of 1024 cylinders. If you
         want to use ADM Plus with a hard disk which has more
         than 1024 cylinders, the cylinder number will be limited
         to 1024.

      2. ADM Plus does not guarantee booting function on
         non-standard hard disk drives.


$3

   You can define up to 16 partitions on a single hard disk. Each
partition is considered a logical drive.

   For each partition, you should enter the starting address
(cylinder #) and size of partition (MB) in the Partition Table.
To accept default values as shown, simply press <Enter>. When all
data have been entered, you can proceed to the next partition.

   The size of a partition can range from 1MB to 2GB provided
there is enough space on the disk. The Type field entry for PN 1
is "DOS" by default. The DOS partition should be no less than 1MB
to accommodate all system utilities.

   Once ADMPLUS.SYS is installed in the CONFIG.SYS file, the
partition table is write-protected against other programs.

NOTE: Make sure the hard disk is already preformatted before
      using this command.
      If you have created an ADM partition in a non-ADM
      initialized hard disk, make sure to copy ADMPLUS.SYS
      to the hard disk, add "device=ADMPLUS.SYS" to the first
      line of CONFIG.SYS file, or run MUM.EXE to install
      ADMPLUS.SYS to the hard disk.

$4

   To delete a partition, highlight the PN field entry in the
Partition Table. ADM Plus will ask for a confirmation since this
command will delete all data in the partition.

NOTE: If you delete the DOS partition, you have to specify
      another partition as the Active partition and format it
      with DOS.

$5

   This command allows you to specify a partition as the Active
partition, or called DOS partition. The computer will boot from
this partition after power on. Therefore, the Active partition
must be formatted as a bootable partition.

   By default, partition no. 1 on drive no. 0 is the DOS
partition. If you wish, you can specify any of the first four
partitions on drive no. 0 as the DOS partition. To change from
ADM to DOS, toggle to "Yes" for the Active field entry in the
Partition Table; the Type field entry will be changed
accordingly.

$6

   This command allows you to recover the hard disk Partition
Table in case it is corrupted by computer viruses or by
accidents.

   When the computer cannot boot from the hard disk, it might be
that the Partition Table is corrupted. You can run ADM Plus from
the floppy disk drive to see if the Partition Table information
disappears. If so, this command allows you to recover the
Partition Table.

NOTE: If you have recovered the hard disk partitions in a non-ADM
      initialized hard disk, make sure to copy ADMPLUS.SYS
      to the hard disk, add "device=ADMPLUS.SYS" to the first
      line of CONFIG.SYS file, or run MUM.EXE to install
      ADMPLUS.SYS to the hard disk.
$7

   When this command is selected, a pop-up window appears where
you should select a partition for formatting, specify if it is
bootable, and give it a volume label.

   ADM Plus will initialize BOOT, FAT (File Allocation Table),
and DIR (Directory) tables in the partition to make it
accessible. Then it checks the partition for bad clusters. Any
bad clusters detected will be flagged in the FAT.

   For the bootable partition, you will be prompted to insert the
diskette containing the DOS system so that ADM Plus can copy the
system files into the partition to make it bootable. You will
then be prompted to insert the diskette containing the device
driver ADMPLUS.SYS so that the driver is added to the CONFIG.SYS
file.

$8

   With passwords installed and this option set to ON, the computer
will boot from the hard disk drive only if a valid User ID and Password
are entered after system power on. This safeguards the hard disk
against unauthorized use.

NOTE: The security system protects only the ADM partitions. The
      DOS partition can be accessed from any DOS version booted
      from a floppy disk drive. Therefore, you are advised to
      place only DOS utilities and other restorable application
      programs in the DOS partition, and all significant data
      files in the ADM partitions.

NOTE: If you have set password on in a non-ADM initialized hard
      disk, make sure to copy ADMPLUS.SYS to the hard disk,
      add "device=ADMPLUS.SYS" to the first line of CONFIG.SYS
      file, or run MUM.EXE to install ADMPLUS.SYS to the hard
      disk.

$9

   With this option set to OFF, the computer will boot from the
hard disk drive without entering a valid User ID and Password
after system power on.


$10

   When this command is selected, a pop-up window appears where
power-on passwords and users' access rights can be defined.

   User ID 0 is the super user who can access all the partitions,
can run the ADMPLUS program and define other users' passwords and
access rights. User ID 1 to 255 are other users who can access
partitions in a  way limited by the super user.

Access right: W = read/write
              R = read only
              . = no access


$11

   Before a hard disk can be used, it should go through a
low-level formatting (preformatting). Normally a hard disk
comes to you preformatted by the manufacturer.

   When this command is selected, you will be prompted to edit
the defect list. If you do not know about defect list, you can
first use the "Verify disk" command to have ADM Plus check the
disk for bad tracks and record them in the defect list. With
this defect list, ADM Plus will preformat the defective tracks
as bad.

   You will then be prompted to enter an interleave factor.
Accept the default value or have ADM Plus check the value if you
do not know the interleave factor of your hard disk.

NOTE: This function supports ESDI and ST-506 hard disks, but not
      SCSI hard disks.

$12

   When this command is selected, you will be prompted to edit
the defect list. With the defect list, ADM Plus will preformat
the defective tracks as bad.

   You will then be prompted to enter an interleave factor.
Accept the default value or have ADM Plus check the value if you
do not know the interleave factor of your hard disk.

NOTE: This function supports ESDI and ST-506 hard disks, but not
      SCSI hard disks.

$13

   You will be asked if you want to "Preformat as bad track". If
you answer <Y>, a pop-up window will appear where you enter the
track's cylinder number and head number. The bad tracks will be
added to the defect list. If you answer <N>, you can select bad
tracks from the defect list which are to be preformatted as good;
the original data on the bad tracks will be restored.

   You will then be prompted to enter an interleave factor.
Accept the default value or have ADM Plus check the value if you
do not know the interleave factor of your hard disk.

NOTE: This function supports ST-506 hard disks, but not SCSI or
      ESDI hard disks.

$14

   It is possible for a hard disk to have bad tracks. The bad
tracks should not be allowed to store data. With the "Verify"
function, bad tracks can be detected and recorded in the defect
list. They will then be made inaccessible during preformatting.

   During the verifying process, the system displays a counting
list of bad tracks in the defect list, number of bad tracks
detected, and number of unreadable tracks.

$15

   This command checks the disk sectors in the selected
partition for bad clusters. The bad clusters will be flagged
in the FAT record.

$16

   This command displays and prints the defect list if a printer
is connected to your computer.
