4-8 Chapter 4: Operating System Recovery
Gold Disk Contents
This section describes the contents of each of the Gold Disk Images, including all the additions and changes that were made on top of the generic operating system.
Important: 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 maintaining the system. If you are using the information in this section to build your own operating system image and not using NCR’s provided OS Recovery image as a base image, then we recommend that all installed drivers be placed in a similar c:\install directory for support.
Microsoft Operating System License Agreements
When purchasing a workstation or kiosk preloaded with a Microsoft operating system, the application provider must follow certain license 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 (typically a cashier) to exit the application so that they may be able to browse the operating system desktop, explorer, or other Microsoft operating system user interface elements. This does not apply to servicing, upgrading, or diagnosing problems 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 operating conditions.
•The NCR OS Recovery image can only be used to recover or update systems with licenses procured from NCR.
