Contents
In the unlikely event of a hard disk crash, you can recover your PC's
preloaded operating system and software using the PC Image
Engineer — Image Creation and Recovery CD-ROM
your PC. Some of the available functions on the Image Creation and
Recovery CD-ROM are described below:
Full Recovery: Restores the operating system, drivers, utilities and
•
Special Disk Partition as supplied by default. A full recovery also
automatically erases any viruses that might be present on the Master
Boot Record. It should be noted, however, that this function
reformats your hard disk drive. It is highly recommended, if possible,
that you save all data files and software installations.
Minimal Recovery: Restores only the operating system and SCSI
•
driver for access to a SCSI hard disk drive.
Partial Recovery: Restores individual drivers which are supplied in a
•
"browseable area" of the CD-ROM.
Copy OS Master Files: For use when Windows prompts you to insert
•
the operating system media when installing additional drivers.
HP e-DiagTools: Checks the system configuration and operation.
