NEC OS Restore CD

The NEC OS Restore CD contains the operating system and device drivers for the hardware that was factory-installed in your system. Use this CD to restore your system to its original factory state if a problem occurs that causes data loss or corruption.

After restoring the operating system, use the NEC Application and Driver CD to install your applications, optional drivers, and online documents. See “NEC Application and Driver CD” earlier in this chapter for information on using the Application and Driver CD. You can also use the Application and Driver CD at any time to restore an application, driver, or utility.

Before starting, we recommend that you first contact NECC for assistance (see Chapter 6 for contact information).

Use the following steps to perform the OS Restore with the bootable Master Restore diskette and the OS Restore CD.

The NEC OS Restore program deletes all the data on your hard drive. If possible, back up your data before performing an OS restore.

1.If possible, back up all your critical data files to an external storage device (diskettes, server hard drive, other storage devices).

2.Remove any diskette or CD-ROM disc from your system.

3.Power down your system and insert the bootable Master Restore diskette into the diskette drive and the auto-start NEC OS Restore CD into the CD-ROM drive.

The system boots, the CD auto-starts, and the NEC Computers Inc. Restore screen appears.

4.At the Restore screen, click Y to continue (or N to exit the program).

A warning screen appears, with a prompt that continuing the restore will destroy all data on your primary drive.
