Protecting Local Disks
In some cases, when you recover a disk using the recovery CD, an additional backup is
created on the storage system. If the maximum number of backups was already
performed, the oldest backup is deleted to make room for this backup.
To recover a system disk or partition using the recovery CD:
1. Using the appropriate procedure for your computer, configure it to boot from the CD-
ROM drive. For more information, see the documentation for your computer.
2. Insert the recovery CD into the CD-ROM drive. A welcome screen displays while the
CD initializes.
3. If you already verified the recovery CD supports your local hardware, or if you have
received a new recovery driver from your vendor, wait 25 seconds for Normal Mode
to start automatically and go to step 4.
If this is the first time you used the recovery CD, press any key to start Diagnostic
Mode. The screen displays a list of all the devices found on your computer and
whether or not they are compatible with the recovery CD. You can use the arrow keys
to scroll through the list. If at least one supported network interface card (NIC) and
one hard disk have been detected, select Normal Mode and go to step 4.
If no supported NIC is found, you can gather information about your computer and
send it to Technical Support to see if an updated recovery CD or an appropriate driver
is available. To do this, select Save, insert a formatted floppy disk or USB disk into
your computer, and select the appropriate option (Save to Floppy Disk or Save to
USB Disk). Once the file is saved to the specified location, you can send it to
Technical Support. Then select Finish and select Yes to restart your computer. At this
point, you have 10 seconds to remove the recovery CD from your CD-ROM drive and
boot from your local disk once more. Otherwise, your computer boots from the
recovery CD again.
4. When the hardware list displays, take the desired action:
