NOTES

   AST highly recommends a backup of all data not originally on the 
   computer before performing any software update.
      
   AST has provided a diskette labeled "Hard Disk Restore for AST 
   Multimedia Systems."  Use of this diskette along with the 
   ASTWorks Data CD will return the software configuration to its 
   original state.  
      
   Using this method to correct problems with software is suggested 
   as a last choice. Use of this utility will result in the loss of 
   ALL data not originally on the computer.  Please make a backup of 
   any desired data before using this utility.
      
   To restore the hard drive, insert the diskette in drive A:, the 
   CD data disk in the CD-ROM drive, and reboot the system. Follow 
   the on-screen instructions.

   For information on installing this update, please view the
