Disk Drive Recovery Process

The Agilent Recovery System can be used to repair software errors on the
instrument's disk drive, or to restore the original factory configuration of the
system software. The Agilent Recovery System is stored in a separate hidden
disk drive partition. Repairing errors on the disk drive may result in loss of data
or files. Restoring the original factory system software does not restore any of
the following items:
— Windows system configurations that were made after the instrument was
— Additional software that was installed after the instrument was shipped
— Any data or programs saved on the D: or E: drives. This data will be retained
— Any updates that were made to the Keysight measurement application
Calibration data is not lost during this process because it resides on the E drive
partition.
