The Windows 98 operating system image is included on a
separate partition on the hard drive for recovery. It is
recommended you back up this image to a network server or a
CD so you can easily recover the operating system in the event
of a hard drive failure.
Note, the image on this hard drive is not compatible with the
following D series mainframes:
J2300D serial numbers below US41030101
J3446D serial numbers below US41040101
If you have older D series mainframes, you need to keep the
backup images you made for those mainframes. Use this manual
for instructions to install the operating system from the hard
drive image.
When you install Windows 98 Second Edition, you will be
reformatting the C: drive. You will lose all installed applications,
customized tests, and any data files that you have created.
Make sure that you back up ALL files you want to save before you
continue. This process does not install the Advisor software.
System
• A D-model Advisor with a 2 GB or larger hard disk
• Backup media archived on a separate partition, as
configured from the factory. Each Advisor shipped from the
98 SE
factory has two partitions in the hard drive. The second
partition contains the Windows recovery image.
The external hard drives, used for Option 506, do not support
FAT32. If you use FAT32 on an Option 506 unit, you will
encounter severe hard drive problems.
