Restoring The Software To Delivery Condition Using The Restore Cd - Siemens SIMATIC Series Manual

9.2 Restoring the Software to Delivery Condition Using the
Restore CD
Using the Restore CD (not available in all delivery versions) you can restore the
software to its original delivery state. The CD contains the necessary images and
tools for transferring the the delivery software to the hard disk of the PC. You can
restore the entire hard disk with drive C: (system) and drive D: or just the
restoration drive C:. User files on drive D: will be retained.
Caution
The option "Restore system partition only" will delete all the data on drive C:
(System). All data, user settings and available authorizations on drive C: will be
lost in the process! Drive C: will be deleted completely on the hard disk,
reformatted and overwritten with the original version of the software.
With the option "Restore entire hard disk", all data, user settings and available
authorizations on the entire hard disk will be lost.
To restore the delivery state, proceed as follows:
• Insert the Restore CD in the drive, restart the device and press the key F12
during the self-test phase. After initialization, a "Boot Menu" is displayed.
• Select the "CD-ROM Drive" using the cursor.
• Now follow the instructions on the screen.
Caution
All the existing data, programs, user settings and authorizations on the drives
will be deleted in the process and will thus be lost.
You will find the description of the functions in the README.TXT file on the
Restore CD.
