Image Creation and Recovery CD-ROM

The PC Image Engineer — Image Creation and Recovery CD-ROM
enables you to restore your computer to its original factory configuration,
change or reconfigure the operating system and reinstall drivers or other
factory-supplied software components. The drivers and software utilities,
including documentation and navigational aids, help you to recover either
the full set of pre-loaded software or subset of it.
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. Also
described on page 53.
Some of the operations that can be performed using the Image Creation
and Recovery CD-ROM will permanently erase the current contents of
your hard disk. You should always backup your data and personal files
before using the CD-ROM.
Requirements
Before performing a recovery, upgrade or downgrade, it is advisable that
you make a checklist for each type of function. You will require to have the
Administrator password to make any changes to the Setup program and it
