System Software & Restoration

7.At the end of each diagnostic run, you will be notified if the test ran successfully or if errors were encountered. If errors were encountered, you will be given a choice to view the error log file to determine the nature of the problem encountered by the diagnostic. All test results are written to a file named AMIDIAG.LOG. This file can be viewed by selecting the Display Error Log File option from the Options menu.

__________________________ Note _____________________________

The AMIDIAG.LOG file is saved to RAM drive by default. In this condition, if you power down, the AMIDIAG.LOG file will be lost. If you want to save the AMIDIAG.LOG file, exist to DOS and manually copy it to the diskette or hard drive. You may also save the AMIDIAG.LOG file from the Options menu Generate Report selection.

Using the Compaq QuickRestore CD

This QuickRestore CD allows you to fully restore your system to its original software configuration as shipped from Compaq. To complete the QuickRestore process, you must make System Setup configuration changes to the Power, Boot and Exit menu options. Refer to Chapter 4, Configuring Your Notebook Computer for detailed instructions.

__________________________ Note _____________________________

The QuickRestore process will format your C: drive automatically. All data

residing on your C: drive will be erased. Prior to beginning the QuickRestore

process, backup all pertinent data onto another drive (your D: or E: drive if available) or alternate media. If you have a Windows NT 4.0 NTFS partition, backup all pertinent data to alternate media. The QuickRestore process requires you to delete all NTFS partitions.
