image will overwrite all information on the hard drive, including saved files.

2.After you click [Y]es. You will be presented with two options: [Create New Backup] and [Restore Backup].

After you click [Create New Backup], follow the on- screen instructions. By selecting [Create New Backup], a new image will be written to your backup partition. This will overwrite any previously created image.

Creating a backup image from the desktop

To create a backup image from the desktop, select Drive Image SE from the Program list. You will initially be prompted to create a backup diskette. It is not necessary to create the backup diskette, since the DAR CD performs the same function.

1.At the Drive Image Special Edition main screen, click Options> Create New Backup. DISE displays a warning that it must go to DOS to create the image.

3. Click Yes.

DISE creates an image file in the backup partition. If you created a backup image previously, the new image overwrites the old one.

Enlarging the Backup Partition

If there is not enough unused space in the backup parti- tion on your hard disk, DISE will resize the partition. DISE will display the minimum, maximum, and recom- mended sizes for the backup partition. You choose the size you want.

DISE takes the space from the FAT, FAT32, or NTFS partition that you are backing up. If there is not enough unused space in that partition to take, you will not be able to resize the backup partition and create an image file. You can delete files from the FAT, FAT32, or NTFS partition to create more unused space on the hard disk.

Restoring a Backup Image

You can restore either a factory image or a backup image you created. Be aware that restoring a backup image will replace the contents of the C:\ partition with the image you restore.

1.Disable virus protection software. If virus protection software is enabled, DISE will hang.

2.From the DISE main window, click Options > Restore Backup to restore an image you created, or click Options > Restore Factory Backup to restore the factory image.

DISE shuts down to DOS and restores the image file.

Re-Installing Individual Drivers and Applications

The Drivers and Application CD can be used to selec- tively re-install drivers and/or applications that may have been un-installed or corrupted.

To re-install drivers and/or applications:

1.Boot up the system and insert the DAR CD after Windows has started. The LifeBook Easy Installation screen appears.

2.Select the drivers and applications you want to install from the list that is displayed.

3.Click [Start]. Follow the prompts that appear to complete installation of the selected drivers and/or applications.

AUTOMATICALLY DOWNLOADING DRIVER UPDATES

Your system has a convenient tool called the Fujitsu Driver Update (FDU) utility. With FDU, you can choose to automatically or manually go to the Fujitsu site to check for new updates for your system.

The FDU icon should appear in the system tray at the bottom right of your screen (roll the cursor over the icons to find the correct one). If the FDU icon does not appear in the system tray, it can be started by going to [Start] -> All Programs, and clicking on Fujitsu Driver Update; this will create the icon automatically.

To invoke the FDU menu, you can either right-click on the FDU icon or hold the pen on the icon for a couple of seconds until the menu appears. The menu contains the following items:

Check for updates now

Allows for manual driver update search. The first time it is used, you are prompted to agree to a user agreement. After clicking on the icon, the FDU auto- matically connects with the Fujitsu site to check for updates and downloads them. While downloading, the icon has a red bar through it, indicating that it cannot be used while the download is in process. When the update is complete, a message appears informing you of the fact.

Enable Automatic Update Notifications Automatically searches for new updates on a regular basis (approximately every 3 days).

Show update history

Brings up a screen that displays a history of updates that have been made via the FDU.
