4. Double-click the Nt4 folder.

7. Copy each of the utilities on the System Software CD to the c:\dell directory on your hard-disk drive. The utilities have the following
filenames: mks2d.exe, rms2d.exe, asset.com, and readme.s2d.
For more information on copying files, see the documentation that came with the operating system.
After you copy the utilities to your hard-disk drive, you must restart your computer in the MS-DOS® mode to use the utilities.
See the readme.s2d file on the System Software CD for more information on using the save-to-disk suspend (S2D) partition utilities.
