are booting from the recovery partition.
3. The analyzer will display a warning about proceeding and give you two chances to
abort. After the second warning, if not aborted, the restoration process begins
immediately.
Restoration takes from 30 to 60 minutes. There is no user interaction required. Near the
end of the process, the network analyzer will reboot several times. The network analyzer
application may start before the process is complete. Do not attempt to use the analyzer
until the network analyzer application is running and all activity has been stopped for at
least one minute.
Once the operating system is completely recovered, you can restore any files that you
saved. The mxcalfile_ files that were stored on the D:/Calfiles directory will be restored
automatically. Other files must be moved or copied manually.
NOTE If the network analyzer options are lost, rename the C:/Program
Files/Agilent/Network Analyzer/gen.lic file to gen.bak, and then restart the
network analyzer application. This should regenerate the options
automatically and recreate the gen.lic file.
After recovery, you may notice that, upon power up, the system pauses for 30 seconds to
allow selection of the operating system. This time delay can be decreased to 5 seconds. To
