Using the Product Recovery CD-ROMs
Please note that the Windows®
2000 system recovery allows you to
select the size of the C: partition
when starting a recovery. When
recovering your system, you also
need to choose between FAT32 and
NTFS for the file management
system you want to use. The default
option is FAT32.
Performing a system recovery
Use this option only when your system is seriously damaged, e.g. if Windows
not work any more, or your PC behaves abnormally, etc. The system recovery will
completely reinstall the originally configured system on your C: drive. Your D: drive
data will not be deleted if you choose to keep the same partition settings. If you decide
to modify the size of your partitions, the existing data on both drives (C: and D:) will
be deleted.
Procedure for starting a system recovery
1
Take the Recovery CD-ROMs.
2
Turn on your computer (using AC power only) and insert the System Recovery
CD-ROM in the CD-ROM drive.
3
Shut down your computer (press the power switch and hold it for more than four
seconds).
4
Wait ten seconds and turn your computer back on.
5
On the first screen that appears, click "OK".
6
The System Recovery CD screen appears, asking you what to do with the
partitions on your hard disk. At this stage you have 3 options available.
