This completes the OS Restore (or “Fix OS”) procedure. The system is now in a state where data can be backed up. System settings previously located in the C:\WINDOWS directory are now in a backup directory C:\WINDOWS.ORG.

!CAUTION

Some or all applications might not exhibit full functionality after the Fix OS is performed. To restore the system to its factory-installed state, perform another OS Restore using the Auto or Custom option.

!CAUTION

Using the Fix OS option repetitively without using the Auto or Custom option afterward might cause unpredictable results.

To restore the system to its factory-installed state, perform another NEC OS Restore using the Auto or Custom option (see “Launching the OS Restore CD” in Chapter 3 of the PowerMate VT 300i Series User’s Guide ).

PIIX4 Limitations

The following operating limitations apply to PIIX4 (PCI ISA IDE Xcelerator).

Reconfiguring Ultra DMA Support

The PCI IDE interface on the PowerMate VT 300i Series system supports the latest ATA ULTRA DMA/33 interface. In order to do so, the PIIX4 component that was recently released from Intel Corporation was incorporated in the system. However, standard versions of Windows® 95 were released prior to the release of PIIX4; these versions do not recognize the PIIX4 as capable of supporting ULTRA DMA/33.

Several information files (.INF files) need to be added to standard versions of Windows 95 so the operating system can incorporate PIIX4 features. NEC CSD already includes these .INF files in the preinstalled software that comes with your system. NEC CSD recommends that customers use the version of Windows 95 that is included with their system.

Note: NEC CSD recommends that customers use the version of Windows 95 that is included with their system because this version is already configured for Ultra DMA/33.
