Abstract: A method is described for preloading operating system software onto a computer system. A manufacturing compact disk is provided which stores the complete range of software which may be stored on the computer system. Associated with the computer system is a manufacturing diskette which includes installation files which define which software on the CD is to be transferred to the system. This manufacturing diskette also includes diagnostic and/or other code which is employed at other stages of the system assembly process. In operation, the CD and diskette are inserted into the system and the software defined by the diskette installation files is transferred from the CD to the system hardfile.
