Installation instructions

For a new install, unpack this archive and copy the contents of the “HardDisc4” directory to the root directory of the target hard disc.

If you are upgrading an existing RISC OS 5 installation, you can use the supplied “InSituBootUpdate” obey file to update the !Boot directory. The remainder of the contents of the HardDisc4 directory (Apps, Utilities etc.) can be used to replace older versions of those applications.

If you will be using this archive on a RISC OS 3 or RISC OS 4 installation, you will also need the ‘System resources’ download from the Miscellaneous Downloads page. Follow the instructions included in that download.

Obtaining the software

Go to the Miscellaneous Downloads page and download the HardDisc4 archive.
