Important information for Windows NT Workstation users
Your computer was shipped from the factory with a FAT16 primary
partition. The IBM Product Recovery CDs for Windows NT Workstation
will work correctly only if your primary partition is FAT16.
If your primary partition is not FAT16, you will see a message about an
invalid partition that needs to be repartitioned with the FDISK
command.
To run the FDISK command from IBM Product Recovery CD 1, place IBM
Product Recovery CD 1 in the CD-ROM drive, press Esc at the Recover
Main Menu; then type FDISK at the command prompt. Delete the
primary partition, leave the IBM Product Recovery CD in the CD-ROM
drive, and restart the computer. The IBM Product Recovery CD
partitions your hard disk correctly.
Use the following steps to recover or reinstall the IBM preinstalled
operating system and software:
1. Make backup copies of configuration files and any files you created.
Any files not backed up will be lost.
2. Insert your IBM Product Recovery CD 1 into your CD-ROM drive.
3. Restart your computer. If your computer does not start from the CD,
you need to change your startup sequence. (See "Changing the startup
sequence to start from the CD" on page 109.)
4. You might be prompted to select the appropriate operating system.
5. The Product Recovery program main menu appears with the following
options:
Full recovery: Reformats your hard disk and restores your
computer to the original preinstalled software.
Partial recovery: Reformats your hard disk and restores your
operating system and all device drivers.
Note: If you select Partial recovery, not all preinstalled software
applications will be recovered. Some applications must be
installed from the Software Selections CD. For more
information on installing software, see Appendix A, "Using
the Software Selections CD" on page 131.
Repair: Run the emergency repair utility program.
Select the option you need and follow the instructions on the screen.
6. When the recovery is complete, remove the IBM Product Recovery CD
and restart your computer.
