When you download the Year 2000 Upgrade information, you will copy the files onto 5 floppy disks. One of these must be a boot disk (which you create). It is extremely important that you maintain the original file structure as you copy the files. After you copy all files you will have created the following disks:
  1. Year 2000 Upgrade Files, Disk 1 of 2 - This is a boot disk. This disk is required for all NVM-2, 22, 202, 202ex, 2000 upgrades.
  2. Year 2000 Upgrade Files, Disk 2 of 2 - This is not a boot disk. You will use this disk only if you are using the COM port to perform the upgrade, and your system is an:
    NVM-202 with software version 1.06
    NVM-2000 with software version 2.12
    NVM-2003 with software version 2.12
  3. NVM-202 Only Backup Disk 001 - This is not a boot disk. You will use this disk only if you are using the floppy drive on an NVM and your system is an NVM-202 with software version 1.06.
  4. NVM-2000 & NVM-2003 Only Backup Disk 001 - This is not a boot disk. You will use this disk only if you are using the floppy drive on an NVM and your system is an NVM-2000 with software version 2.12 or an NVM-3000 with software version 2.12.
  5. IDEA System (Backup & Restore Tool) Version 1.03 - You will use this disk if you are performing the upgrades through NVM's COM port.

After downloading this information to disk, follow the NVM-Series Upgrade Instructions (available in Adobe Acrobat format) to upgrade your voice mail system for Year 2000 Compliance.

Create a Boot Disk

Create a boot disk before you copy the Year 2000 files.
To create a boot disk:
  1. From your computer, access your MS DOS prompt (e.g., C:\WINDOWS>).
  2. Install a floppy disk into the floppy drive.
  3. From the DOS prompt (e.g., C:\>), type sys <space> a: if your floppy drive is A. Type sys <space> b: if your floppy drive is B. For example:
    C:\WINDOWS>sys a:

    The required MS DOS system files will be transferred onto the floppy disk. When the transfer is complete you will see:
    C:\WINDOWS>sys a:
    System transferred

    The following files will be copied onto the floppy:
    Command.com, Drvspace.bin, IO.sys, Msdos.sys

    Note: If you view the contents of the floppy from DOS, you see only the command.com file.
  4. Remove this disk from your floppy drive and place a label on this disk: Year 2000 Upgrade Disk 1 of 2. Copy the Year 2000 Upgrade files onto this disk (see next section).
