Disk Drive Partitioning and Use
The instrument USB device driver included in the instrument software supports the
test and measurement industry standard USBTMC-USB488 device class.
Keysight Technologies does not support or warrant correct instrument operation if
additional USB drivers from third parties are installed in the instrument. It is possible
that additional drivers could break the normal USB operation. If USB operation is
broken, recovery would require reinstalling the instrument application using the
Instrument recovery process.
Disk Drive Partitioning and Use
The drive is partitioned into 3 sections: C:, D: and E:
Disk Drive Recovery Process
The Instrument Recovery System can be used to repair errors on the instrument's C:
drive partition or to restore the original factory configuration of the system software
on the disk drive. The Instrument Recovery System is stored in a separate hidden
disk drive partition.
Restoring the original factory system software does not restore any of the following
items:

The C: partition contains the Windows 10 operating system and software
installed by Keysight. This is an Open System which means you can install
additional software, and these should be installed on the C: drive. However,
only a limited set of software applications are tested for use with the Keysight
measurement software. The installation and/or use of other software is not
warranted and could interfere with the operation of the measurement soft-
ware. If instrument repair is ever needed, the Keysight version of the C: drive is
the only part of the instrument software that is restored by the Instrument
Recovery process. You must reload any other software that you have added in
the instrument.
The D: partition is reserved for data storage. The User Accounts that are con-
figured by Keysight have their My Documents folder mapped to the D: drive.
This is for the convenience of backing-up the measurement data. Always
back-up the data on the D: drive to an external device. This allows you to
restore the data if you ever need to replace the disk drive.
The E: partition is reserved for Keysight's use. The primary use of the E: drive is
for housing the Calibration and Alignment data. Do not change or overwrite
the files on this drive. This could cause your instrument to not meet spe-
cifications, or even to stop functioning correctly. Do not use this drive for data
storage. It is also recommended that you back up the contents of this drive
using the factory calibration data backup utility.
