Disaster Recovery

Assisted Manual Disaster Recovery of a Windows System

Recovery

Follow the procedure below to recover a Windows system using Assisted Manual Disaster Recovery. If you are performing advanced recovery tasks (such as disaster recovery of a Cell Manager or IIS), see also “Advanced Recovery Tasks” on page 490.

1.Install the Windows system from the CD-ROM and install additional drivers if needed. The Windows operating system has to be installed on the same partition as prior to the disaster. Do not install the Internet Information Server (IIS) during the installation of the system. Refer to “Restoring Internet Information Server (IIS) Specifics” on page 496 for more details.

IMPORTANT	If Windows has been installed using the Windows unattended setup, use
	the same script now to install Windows to ensure that the
	<$SystemRoot$> and \Documents and Settings folders are installed
	to the same position.

2.When the Windows Partition Setup screen appears, proceed as follows:

•If an vendor-specific partition (e.g. EISA Utility Partition) existed on the system before the crash, create (if it does not exist due to the crash) and format a “dummy” FAT partition using the EUP information gathered from the SRD file. The EUP will be later on recovered to the space occupied by the “dummy” partition. Create and format a boot partition immediately after the “dummy” partition. To do this, you need the data as described in “Preparation” on page 451.

•If an EUP did not exist on the system before the crash, create (if the boot partition does not exist due to the crash) and format the boot partition as it existed on the disk before the crash. To do this, you need the data as described in “Preparation” on page 451.

Windows NT	When the Windows NT setup prompts you for the Windows NT
	installation directory, specify any new directory on the boot partition
	that is not the location where the original Windows NT installation
	resided (for example, DPWINNT). A new directory has to be specified
	because temporary DR OS is used to recover Windows NT.
