<a name="l1"></a><span class=cF5>                              Installing TempleOS</span><span class=cF0>
<a name="l2"></a>
<a name="l3"></a>Burn a CD with software that supports ISO files.  Then, boot it.  It's a live 
<a name="l4"></a>CD, so you can look around with or without installing.
<a name="l5"></a>
<a name="l6"></a>Dual booting with another operating system is the best way to use TempleOS.  I 
<a name="l7"></a>only use it in a virtual machine because it won't boot natively on my machine, 
<a name="l8"></a>though.  For native dual booting, you need a partition for TempleOS.  Windows 
<a name="l9"></a>often comes with a restore disk that does not allow repartitioning.  I recommend 
<a name="l10"></a>connecting a spare additional hard drive and using the </span><span class=cF2>BIOS</span><span class=cF0> to select which 
<a name="l11"></a>drive to boot.
<a name="l12"></a>
<a name="l13"></a>The </span><a href="/src/Misc/OSInstall.HC#l1"><span class=cF4>::/Misc/OSInstall.HC</span></a><span class=cF0> script will automate much of this.  It runs if you boot 
<a name="l14"></a>the CD/DVD-ROM.
<a name="l15"></a>
<a name="l16"></a>See </span><a href="/src/Doc/Boot.DD.HTML#l1"><span class=cF4>Boot.DD</span></a><span class=cF0> for an overview of booting.  See </span><a href="/src/Doc/Requirements.DD.HTML#l1"><span class=cF4>Requirements</span></a><span class=cF0> for supported 
<a name="l17"></a>hardware.
<a name="l18"></a>
<a name="l19"></a>Two TempleOS partitions are highly recommended, so you can boot to a back-up and 
<a name="l20"></a>fix the primary when you work on it.  Odds are, you only need a couple gigabytes 
<a name="l21"></a>for your TempleOS partitions.
<a name="l22"></a>
<a name="l23"></a>1)
<a name="l24"></a></span><span class=cF4>  </span><a href="/src/Adam/ABlkDev/Mount.HC#l138"><span class=cF4>Mount</span></a><span class=cF0>() use if the drive is partitioned.
<a name="l25"></a>    This command mounts a drive making it accessible.  For simplicity, sel </span><span class=cF2>'C'</span><span class=cF0> 
<a name="l26"></a>    as the first drive letter for your hard drive.  The first partition will be </span><span class=cF2>
<a name="l27"></a>    'C'</span><span class=cF0>, second, </span><span class=cF2>'D'</span><span class=cF0>, etc.  TempleOS needs 3 numbers to utilize a hard drive -- 
<a name="l28"></a>    base0, base1, and unit.  When you enter a hexadecimal number, do it like in </span><span class=cF2>
<a name="l29"></a>    C</span><span class=cF0> with a </span><span class=cF2>0x</span><span class=cF0> prefix.  If the probe was successful, you can just enter the 
<a name="l30"></a>    number in the probe box instead of base0.

<a name="l35"></a>    
<a name="l36"></a>    <blink>WARNING:</blink>  This command erases everything on a hard drive.  It repartitions a 
<a name="l37"></a>    whole drive and formats the partitions.  This command should be skipped if 
<a name="l38"></a>    you already have your hard drive partitioned.
<a name="l39"></a>    
<a name="l40"></a>    
<a name="l41"></a>    <blink>WARNING:</blink>  This command doesn't play well with other operating systems.  
<a name="l42"></a>    You'll need to do a </span><a href="/src/Adam/Opt/Boot/BootMHDIns.HC#l52"><span class=cF4>BootMHDZero</span></a><span class=cF0>() to restore your drive to a state where 
<a name="l43"></a>    other operating systems can partition it.

<a name="l46"></a>  This command formats a drive with </span><span class=cF2>FAT32</span><span class=cF0> or the </span><a href="/src/Doc/RedSea.DD.HTML#l1"><span class=cF4>RedSea</span></a><span class=cF0> file system type.  Use 
<a name="l47"></a>  the drive letter of the partition in place of </span><span class=cF2>'D'</span><span class=cF0>.
<a name="l48"></a>  
<a name="l49"></a>  <blink>WARNING:</blink>  If you are upgrading, be sure not to lose the file, </span><span class=cF2>/0000Boot/OldMBR

<a name="l53"></a>  This command is used to copy files onto a hard drive partition from the 
<a name="l54"></a>  CD/DVD.  Use the drive letter of the partition in place of </span><span class=cF2>'D'</span><span class=cF0>.

<a name="l57"></a>  This command recompiles the source code on a drive and writes to the <u>drive's</u> 
<a name="l58"></a>  boot record.  You'll need to reenter the </span><a href="/src/Adam/ABlkDev/Mount.HC#l138"><span class=cF4>Mount</span></a><span class=cF0> information so it can be stored 
<a name="l59"></a>  in the kernel.

<a name="l63"></a>  The </span><a href="/src/Adam/Opt/Boot/BootMHDIns.HC#l69"><span class=cF4>BootMHDIns</span></a><span class=cF0>() command places a boot loader on a drive.  It saves the old 
<a name="l64"></a>  master boot record to </span><span class=cF2>/0000Boot/OldMBR.BIN.C</span><span class=cF0> and replaces it.  When you boot, 
<a name="l65"></a>  you will have the option of booting the old master boot record.  This command 
<a name="l66"></a>  can be skipped if you already have a boot loader.  Be sure not to lose the 
<a name="l67"></a>  copy of the old boot record, like if you reformat the drive.
<a name="l68"></a>  
<a name="l69"></a>  Delete </span><span class=cF2>/0000Boot/OldMBR.BIN.C</span><span class=cF0> if you want to get a fresh copy of a mbr, like 
<a name="l70"></a>  if installing from your own custom CD containing it's own </span><span class=cF2>/0000Boot/OldMBR.BIN
<a name="l71"></a>  .C</span><span class=cF0> onto a system with a non-TempleOS boot loader.
<a name="l72"></a>  
<a name="l73"></a>  If you have anti-virus software, it might object to having a different master 
<a name="l74"></a>  boot record.
