Image Recovery

The following procedure provides instruction on how to use the Field Image Recovery Disk (44A749863-G01Rxx). This disk will enable you to recover all software on your computer as received initially from GE Fanuc.

Caution

Before attempting an Image Recovery on your unit, make sure to record all critical settings and conduct a full back up of all software projects and critical documents. You will also need to have your application software registration and Microsoft Authorization Numbers handy. This process will clear all contents from your Hard Drive and return your system to the factory configuration.

Instructions for Image Recovery

1.Prior to Image Recovery, you will need to connect the following equipment:

−a standard PS/2-type keyboard

−an external floppy disk drive (available from GE Fanuc – IC850FDD101)

2.Insert the Field Image Recovery Disk into the floppy drive.

3.After inserting the Recovery Disk, the system will prompt you to restore the image. Select <1> to “RESTORE SYSTEM TO ORIGINAL CONDITION”. If you have initiated this process in error, press <2> and Exit the Recovery program.

4.Select <1> again to “PROCEED WITH SOFTWARE RESTORE”. Choose <2> to cancel Recovery and exit to MS-DOS .

5.At this point the factory image will be recovered from a hidden partition on the Hard Drive. This will take approximately 12 minutes. When prompted, reboot your system.

6.After rebooting your unit, the system will bring you to the initial startup screens as received from the factory.
