automatically and restart your computer. To make sure your computer restarts
properly, remove the floppy disk from drive A, and then choose the Retry
button.
If you press the F1 function key at this point, DoubleSpace displays the
following inaccurate help message:
There is no disk in the drive you selected.
To continue, insert the disk in the drive, and then choose the Retry button.
