-- How to Clean Install
    1. Copy the ZIP file to your HDD. The recommended directory is C:\drivers\BIOS.
    2. Then unzip it with -d option to store the sub-directories.
    ex.)PKUNZIP -d C:\drivers\BIOS\*.ZIP C:\drivers\BIOS.
    3.  There may be two types of source you will get:

        .A ZIP package file, or
        .A source disk with uncompressed files

   Step 1. Create a bootable disk.

   Step 2. Copy the following files to that bootable disk.

         .ANSI.SYS
         (You can find this file in \windows\command or \windows)

         General Syntax:
    
         copy [source path] [destination path]

         1. copy ansi.sys a:\
        
   Step 3. Decompress the ZIP file to this bootable disk if you get a ZIP
           package,or copy all the files to the bootable disk if you get a
           source disk.

   Step 4. Put the bootable disk into Skylark machines, then boot.
