NCR 7401 Gold Disk Contents

6-8 Chapter 6: Operati ng System Recovery

Gold Disk Contents

This section describes the conten ts o f e a ch of the Go ld Disk Imag es,

including all the additions and cha n ge s that were made on top of the

generic operating system.

Note: For each operating system, NCR strongly recommends that the

drivers placed in the c:\install directory be left there for the

purposes of servicing and m aintaining the system. If y ou are using the

information in this section to build your own op erating system image

and not using NCR's provided OS Recovery ima g e as a bas e imag e,

then we recommend that all installed drivers be p la ce d in a sim ila r

c:\install directory for support.

When purchasing a workstation or kiosk preloaded with a Microsoft

operating system, the application p r ov id e r mus t follo w cert a in lice n s e

agreement guidelines. Listed below are some of the major points of

Microsoft’s “Embedded Software” agreement, which currently covers

DOS, Win 3.11, Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows NT, Windows

2000, and Windows XPe.

• The end user application should not permit the user (typ ica lly a

cashier) to exit the application so that th ey ma y be a ble t o brows e

the operating system desktop, explorer, or other Microsoft

operating system user interface elements. This does not apply to

servicing, upgrading, or diagnosing proble m s for the workstation

by services or field engineers. This restriction is meant to ensure

that the end user is only permitted to navigate within the confines

of the end user’s application under normal opera t in g con d it ion s.

• The NCR OS Recovery image can only be used to recover or update

systems with licenses procured from NCR.
