System Recovery
In the event that your hard drive is damaged, or if your BIOS or system files get corrupted, it’s important to take advanced precautions that will allow you to restart your system and recover damaged files.
Creating a startup diskette
If your computer hard drive is damaged, you may not be able to start the computer from the hard drive. A startup diskette is a bootable diskette that lets you start the computer and attempt to fix the problem.
When you set up Windows NT you are prompted to create a startup diskette. If you did not choose to create a startup diskette at that time, you may create one later by running the Windows NT upgrade/installation program. This is done by going to the DOS Command Prompt, changing to the C:\I386 subdirectory and typing “winnt32/ox”. Press ENTER and follow the prompts.
Using your System Restoration CD
The System Restoration CD included with your system can be used to:
■Install hardware drivers for Windows NT
■Reinstall selected software applications, such as LANDesk Client Manager
Instructions for each operating system are provided with the System Restoration CD.
