DRIVE IMAGE SPECIAL EDITION (DISE)
(WINDOWS ME ONLY)
PowerQuest Drive Image Special Edition (DISE)
provides a way to restore your computer if you experi-
ence a hard disk crash or other system failure. Fujitsu
has used DISE to create an image of everything that was
installed on the computer at the time you purchased it.
The image is saved on a separate partition on the hard
disk. You can use DISE to restore the factory image and
return your computer to the state in which it shipped
from Fujitsu.
Although it is not necessary, you can use DISE to store
an additional image file that you create. For example, if
you install several applications and save data files on
your hard disk, you can create a new image file that
includes them and then save that image file on the hard
disk. Then, in the event of a hard disk failure, you can
restore the image that includes the applications and data
files you use.
Fujitsu recommends that you create a DISE disk as a
"rescue disk." If your computer fails, you can boot and
run DISE from the rescue disk.
P O I N T
Using the DISE feature will reduce the amount of usable
disk space on your hard disk drive.

Creating a Backup Image
You can create a backup image of your C:\ drive at any
time. The C:\ partition must be a FAT, FAT32, or NTFS
partition, and it must be directly before the backup
partition on your hard disk.
1. At the Drive Image Special Edition main screen,
click Options> Create New Backup.
There is also a button on the main DISE screen that
performs the same function.
2. You will be prompted to type a password. Type a
password (or leave the password fields blank), then
click OK. DISE displays a warning that it must go to
DOS to create the image.
3. Click Yes.
DISE creates an image file in the backup partition. If
you created a backup image previously, the new
image overwrites the old one.
Enlarging the Backup Partition
If there is not enough unused space in the backup parti-
tion on your hard disk, DISE will resize the partition.
DISE will display the minimum, maximum, and recom-
mended sizes for the backup partition. You choose the
size you want.
