<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="/Wb/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="/Wb/Doc/Boot.DD.HTML#l1"><span class=cF4>Boot.DD</span></a><span class=cF0> for an overview of booting. See </span><a href="/Wb/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="/Wb/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="l31"></a> </span><span class=cF4>

<a name="l33"></a>
<a name="l34"></a> This will perform a special </span><a href="/Wb/Adam/ABlkDev/Mount.HC#l138"><span class=cF4>Mount</span></a><span class=cF0>() automatically.
<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="/Wb/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="/Wb/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="l50"></a> .BIN.C</span><span class=cF0>.
<a name="l51"></a>
<a name="l52"></a>3) </span><a href="/Wb/Adam/ABlkDev/ADskA.HC#l122"><span class=cF4>CopyTree</span></a><span class=cF0>(</span><span class=cF2>&quot;T:/&quot;</span><span class=cF0>,</span><span class=cF2>&quot;D:/&quot;</span><span class=cF0>)
<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="l55"></a>

<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="/Wb/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="l60"></a>
<a name="l61"></a>5) Use Linux's Grub or TempleOS' </span><a href="/Wb/Adam/Opt/Boot/BootMHDIns.HC#l69"><span class=cF4>BootMHDIns</span></a><span class=cF0>(</span><span class=cF2>'D'</span><span class=cF0>)
<a name="l62"></a>
<a name="l63"></a> The </span><a href="/Wb/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.
