COPY A FILE TO DISC
If the need arises to transfer a file from one computer to another, you may want to copy the file to a floppy disc.
This can be done by following the steps outlined below:
Step 1: Insert a fresh formatted disc
in your floppy disc drive. This is usually the [A] drive of your computer.
Step 1: Open the DataLink program
.
Step 2: Click on the Open folder icon.
The Open dialog box will appear on your screen.
Step 3:
In the Open dialog box
double click on the file folder
you wish to open. You will probably need to follow
a path through several folders to the actual file you want to copy. Double click on each of the folders you want to
open until the name of the file you want to copy is visible.
Step 4: Highlight the file
you wish to copy.
Step 5: Right click on the highlighted file
. A drop down menu selection will appear.
Step 6:
Move your arrow cursor over
SEND TO ►.
Another drop down menu will appear.
Step 7:
Move the arrow cursor to
highlight 3 1/2 Floppy [A].
Step 8: Left click on the highlighted 3 1/2 Floppy [A] to copy
the file to the disc. Once the transfer is complete
you can remove the floppy disc from your computer.
If you are copying a file for the purpose of viewing it in another computer, that computer must be equipped with
the Racepak DataLink program and have your security information installed before your file can be opened and read. If you
are not familiar with this information see Adding Security Numbers (pages 12 & 13).
